When throwing a "spook" type bait, do you tie to a split ring or loop knot. I've tied directly and don't like the action. I use a split ring..

I have always tied directly to the spook and have never had a problem with the action. If it works for you go for it. It is alot about the confidence one has in the lure and technique one uses and does it catch fish. Former Illinoisen from Skokie. Tight Lines![]()

I tie directly to the spook. A spook has more action and is easier to control if you use a shorter rod. My spook rod is 5'10".
Good Fishing!

I always add a split ring. For Poppers I tie a loop knot.

With a split ring. It gives it a much more pronounced walk.
