Trying to expand my arsenal a bit.. Can't wrap my head around how to rig up those needlefish hoochies. What do your un in place of a gumpucky? What size hook?
Thanks!

I've been using those this winter but haven't caught anything yet. They make plastic roller beads specifically for needlefish hoochies. But they are more of a stem with a bead on top..... I stick them in the head of the hoochie and run the mono through them same as a bead or a gumpucky. Not sure if I turned them around the right way. I found them at a site called johns sporting goods. A troller here told me to use them with a short tail leader (maybe 20 inches to the flasher). Id love to hear if you catch anything on them this winter.

Premade twinkle skirt, with the plastic head. I like Zacks, but put a drop of glue on the thread that holds the skirt around the head, theyre prone to falling aprt.
