Wire keeper information
« on: 11/10/13 17:51 UTC »
Hey guys, I ordered the new shad head mold with wire keeper, I have no intention of using it on an A-Rig but as a single swim bait head. I fish soft plastic swim baits for river smallies, baits like the Keitech easy shiner, and the Gene Larew sweet swimmer and over the course of the season I began having more success with the Bass Magic hollow body swim bait. My question is this, I know the wire keeper will work well for the solid swim baits, but will it help at all for the hollow baits or do I just use it and add a drop of glue like I do now? Thanks in advance.

It will depend on how thick the nose portion of the baits is. If there is any play after hanging you hollow baits I'd suggest adding a small drop of glue.
