TBB Cabela's Any Rigging???

jt2hunt · 08-06-2006, 09:25 AM

What rigging, excluding rods and reels, can I buy at Cabela's in Austin that would work for the Sept trip. Hooks for chunks? brand and size. Leader material. Rings, etc. I am a newbie, so any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

jason

I am not sure what Cabela's have in stock, but here are few items you might want to consider for our September trip.

1. 7/0, 9/0, 12/0, Mustad Demon 39965B circle hooks, Eagle claw L2004 or L
2005, Owner mutu or super mutu or Gamakatsu circle hooks for chunking
And live bait fishing. These are just the brand I have use before, all other
Brand of hooks will work too. I use mustad demon hooks to compare to other brands,
the actual size of the hook. Do not base on the size on the package. Each company have
a different size (not standard). J-hooks for trolling lure Owner 11/0 model #.5192-211
long shank trolling hook (good for ballyhoo Ilander combo) , Owner Jobu, Mustad
7691SS size based on your trolling lure ( measure the widest gap of your lure), and your
hook gap should be slightly bigger than your lure.

2.Mono leader for lure and AJ and grouper rig, 150#, 200# and 300# for
trolling lure. Fluorocarbon leader 50#, 80# and 100#. 80# single strand wire
leader for light trolling lure like Ilander for Wahoo.

3.Split ring 300-400# for your poppers and your jigs.

4. Assist hooks that have a wider gap than the widest part of your jig.

5. Top-shot and wind-on leader, if cabelas doesn’t have it. I can make some for you, just
let me know the size and length.

6. barrell swivels and ball bearing swivels 80, 100, 150, 200 and 300 #

Are you talking about SPRO's Sushi Spoon ?

I think it will work just as good as others, but it's kind of too light if we have a strong current. Just keep in mind we are fishing deeper water for YFT, heavier jig is preffered. JMO
