Then I got to thinking how much chafing that would undergo over the course of a fishing day.

A better plan is to use the loop to tie a Palomar to a Duolock snap. This eliminates chafing and gives you the full strength of doubled 40# Max UG to the hook.

Snap the entire hangback rig onto the butt end of the spoon. VOILA!

Looks killer in the pool!
