I wonder if adding the pink squid skirt affects the rig performance or the strike rate.

would you empty the stomach contents before rigging ?
and would you ever leave the 3rd hook trailing ?
many thanks

Hey Doug love all your vids. Very informative thanks. Does anyone ever run a bean sinker inside the pink squid head for a bit of extra weight?

It’s better to have the weight under the bait so it forces it to swim upright.

Thanks Doug.
Just wondering where you can get the lead to crimp around front hook? I use a similar design with a weighted front hook connected to a treble on the back, however still don't have alot of confidence in its presentation.
Thanks for the video 👍🏽

In the shop here there is some of the lead needed.
