Hey do you know of any lure heads that are weighted to swim with a back up and a belly down or are all the heads just uniform weight all the way around? Great video! I’m primarily a bait fisherman but trying to up my trolling game. All we troll up here are squid spreader bars. I would really like to start running some single lures. I want to make them look realistic with a dark back and a light belly. But if they don’t run upright it doesn’t seem like a good idea to colour the belly white and the top darker because the lure could just turn on its side and not look right in the water. Is there such a thing as trolling lure heads that are weighted to always ride belly down? Th
For bullets and jets the only lure that is keel weighted is the tanigawa 2-hole Jet and the 12” ahi bomb they will run upright all the time and they’re pretty heavy as well for the size of them. Great for tuna! But other lure shapes like a plunger Koya and Tantrum make really well keel weighted lures. Text me if you have any other questions! +19542584051
Hey man! So these are the three tools I use Momoi stainless steel mono cutters - for chafe tube, mono, heat shrink, wax floss Felco cable cutters- all sizes of cable Good quality art scissors- flashabou; flashabou can be hard to trim evenly but a good pair of art scissors that are designed to cut through thicker paper like art card paper works the best. The trick is also to bunch the flashabou together tight and cut with the deeper part of the scissors. I’ll make a short video of the easiest way I’ve found to trim flashabou evenly.
@@wireman_custom_lures Thank you Henry for the tips I just flashabou'd a malolo and couldn't get it trimmed evenly. I'll try-out to bunch it up and cut it. I'll let you know if it worked out. Regards Eddie
@@edhuurdeman4086 no problem dude! If there any videos you would like me to do whether it’s rigging specific lures, or info about specific lures or lure makers, spreads I use etc let me know, I wanna make videos that useful for everyone, from guys who are just starting out offshore fishing and the super experienced guys who are looking for something different to try
@@wireman_custom_lures Hi Henry thanks again buching up worked out pretty good. And what kind of lures do you fish in ur spread? And what would you pull with moderate to rough conditions? Regards Eddie
@@edhuurdeman4086 so depending on what size lures you’re running and what class tackle as well, if I’m talking just strictly about what lure shape I like using for each position no matter what size tackle, Shotgun: jetted bullet with flashabou Long rigger: short plunger style lure like the Koya 861 shape or marlin magic ruckus or another jetted bullet. Short rigger: A hard head shape or a well keel weighted tube or a longer plunger shape Long corner: scoop faced plunger like one of the black Bart breakfast shapes or traditional plunger shape like a Koya poi dog or a tantrum bandit Short corner: another plunger your personal favorite
Tsutomu and Koya! well done! 🤙🏼
Thanks for the information. Easy to understand.
Woowww!!! Very good!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Well done!
Nice presentation thanks for taking the time. Aloha from Hawaii
@markmearns8942 thanks a lot! Let me know if there’s any other types of videos you would like us to make on specific stuff!
That thumb wrap trick with the floss is nice :) I find wrapping a loop a pain in the neck most of the time :(
Can you go a sea witch please

Hi Henry i got a question what kind of scissors do you use the stuff is so hard to cut.
Hey man! So these are the three tools I use
Momoi stainless steel mono cutters - for chafe tube, mono, heat shrink, wax floss
Felco cable cutters- all sizes of cable
Good quality art scissors- flashabou; flashabou can be hard to trim evenly but a good pair of art scissors that are designed to cut through thicker paper like art card paper works the best.
