Super User Felix77 Posted May 7, 2013 Super User Posted May 7, 2013 As a tournament fishermen (co-angler with multi purpose rods) I am always trying to find ways to save time when it comes to tying up new hooks/baits. With the VMC spinshots I noticed that it takes quite some time to rig them up if you switch up tactics or happen to lose the whole rig. Here's what I came up with to save time out there on the water. Tie on your leader and weight to your favorite spinshot. Take a plastic fishing license holder and label it with the hook and weight. Put the rig in the holder. My drop shot rod is already filled with Fluorocarbon so all I need to do is tie on the top of the spinshot, throw on a bait and I am off and running again. Thought I would share. I know it helped me. 1 Quote
gripnrip Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Excellent suggestion Felix! I too have those hooks and haven't used them. Thanks for the post! Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 7, 2013 Super User Posted May 7, 2013 Good info. Also look into the Gama G-Lock because they have the same slip through and pull design on the bottom end of the hook for the weight. Save a little extra time as well. One less knot! Jeff Quote

Jeff I got a deal at my Wal-Mart on Spinshots. $1 per pack of SpinShots. I bought all their #1's. Needless to say I have a ton to go through. I do like them but they are expensive compared to the VMC's and spinshots haven't let me down yet. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted May 7, 2013 Super User Posted May 7, 2013 Felix, good idea! I fish the VMC Spin-shot and I like them alot! But I fish a double drop shot with the spin-shot hooks,so now you can cover more water and try more baits and colors.And i love the lack of line twist with these hooks.So now you can pre-rig a double DS. 1 Quote
