    Wacky hooks

    I've been using the b10s and wrapping some titanium leader wire up the shank and through the eye for weedgaurd, James Niggemayer showed this on his YouTube a few years ago and it's solid. Wondering if anyone has any other sources of the titanium weed guard or technique to speed to up this process and make it more consistent

    It may be the hook of the g finesse stinger, but that weed guard setup looks a little suspect. I use the owner when throwing on spinning gear, but when I'm throwing wacky rig on casting gear I go with the b10s.

    Not titanium wire. Titanium can't be bent by us mere mortals. Not sure how they bend it.
    Stainless piano wire is what you want..
