This is the rig I have settled on for the stick bait, Owner SJ41 hooks attatched  via heavy jigstar kevlar, the split ring is an Owner 11h. The rear hook has been strapped in place by attacking the stickbait with a chain saw file to make a groove for the docking ring, which still allows some movement in the rear hook, but with minimal interference to the water movement over the rear of the lure, but holds the hook in a position where it can connect cleanly.

The front hook is as described in the most recent sport fishing magazine, by Patrick sebrille. I have wrapped insulation tape around the front hook to stiffen up the cord and have been rubber banding the hook to the belly hook attatchment, again so it sits in a position to hook fish cleanly.

 Both hooks have been bound to the kevlar useing JB60 hollow core braid with as much tension as I can muster out of the PR bobbin, both hooks have been given the added security of a dab of JB glue conditioner then some JB glue, I figured knots would be to bulky and interfere with the lure action too much. I am confidnt these will hold to the drag I can effectively use on the rod and reel combo I have choosen

 Factory rigged the Gillies seemed to skitter and be a bit tail heavy to me, however the addition of the added weight seems to have given the lure a different action whereby it darts and sweeps sub surface now, surface skittering only ocassionally.

LOL that wouldn"t be a strike... It"s  more appropiately called a tease manouver!!

Waiting for me

Seems to be a few fish around so fingers crossed it will happen soon.

Hopefully will be having a go myself in a couple of weeks.
