Well...been checking this forum out for a longtime and thought why not...these folks can be half as bad as those on FS website or THT. O'h and I think the Smileys are better too.

You'll learn a lot... now check out the archives to learn how to rig those tinkers!

I have about 50 Frozen. Read that post about rigging Tinkers and didn't like the way he did it. Cutout the spine, and fins and sew the mouth shut? I have some ideas of my own - I do like the double hook squid. I think I'm going to try a second hook buried into the tinker.

Cut the fins off(tail too) and rig the bait backward with the hook coming out the bottom facing back and the line coming out the back where the tail would be. Then sew the hook in place.
