Hey all. I re-read the article in October's STS about re-rigging salmon plugs, and some of the posts here on the subject. Tried to "...lever out.." hook eyes on one of my Kwikfish last night to replace the split rigs with swivels, and ended up really screwing it up. By the end, the hook hangers got all mangled and one of them actually broke off. Expensive mistake. Anyone know any tricks to make this go more smoothly? Also, anyone know similar techniques for doing the same to Warts? BTW, you can't try to unscrew the hangers, they're not threaded, but embedded. Must figure this out soon, I'm headed to the Drano zoo in about a week.
Thanks,
