HOW TO RIG A STINGER:

A stinger is a treble hook further back on a soft bait in addition to the jighead for shy biters such as Zander. The examples here are rigged on top of the body to be as snag-proof as possible. If trolling deep water they can of course just as simply be rigged underneath.

• Items 1 & 2 show Jelly Hoos rigged with 6/O jigheads and size 4 barbless trebles on Sovereign superwire (32lb), threaded through the body.
• Item 3 shows a Mannhaden rigged in a similar fashion.
• Item 4 shows a 4" Mann's shad rigged on a 4/O jighead with a stinger rigged externally.
• Item 5 shows how to attach the stinger to the jighead. This is the simplest method and prevents tangles, never attach the stinger to the snaplink / crosslock as this can cause the snaplink / crosslock to fail.
