How Are You Supposed To Get The Line Threaded Through This Hook Eyelet?

[tcbass]

So I bought these Gamakatsu Weedless hooks with wireguard and couldn't for the life of me get the 30lbs. Power Pro braid threaded through. I then tried the smallest KVD Mustad Fastach clip which is metal thinking I would push it through. That wouldn't go either. I don't think any diameter line would go through it.
 

 

How the heck are you supposed to attach these to your line?

Use a very light mono, like 4 or 6 pound, run it through and then back through making a loop. Thread your braid through the loop and use the mono to pull your braid through the eye. I have to do that to get heavy braid through some bullet weights. You can also buy line threaders and try that if you want. They're for threading line through tiny trout flies so I'm sure they'd fit through the eye of that hook.

I use the mono trick and it works fine, you can also do the same thing to peg weights with skirt rubber!

Go to Michaels or any other sewing store, Walmart might have it and ask for a needle threader.  It is a handy tool.  If you sometimes have issues with the tiny micro guides that are on some rods that tool helps with that issue as well..

What he said!  The other guys were basically describing a homemade one of these.  Your wife probably has one in her sewing box.

Sounds easy!  While we're talking home remedy tricks, how do you all get the line through the level wind hole you get a break off on the spool?

If you depress the wire weed guard, the opening between the wire and the front or top of the eye will get bigger.  I hold it down until I'm finished with the knot.

Tried that, didn't work.
