Stinger Hooks
When walleyes are biting really light, I like to add a stinger hook to my Nuckle Ball Jig. Follow these three tips and I guarantee you will increase your hooking percentage.
1. Tie the stinger hook so that it is approximately the length of the minnow or plastic on your jig.
2. Place the stinger on the hook after you have hooked your minnow or plastic on the jig. This helps to keep the stinger hook off the bottom and free from debris. It also helps to keep your minnow on the jig longer.
3. Allow the stinger hook to swing freely behind the jig. Don’t stick the stinger hook into the minnow or plastic. This allows light hitting fish to suck in the stinger hook, even though they might not get the entire bait in their mouth.
