Butch Brown Mod on Soft Body Swimbaits...???
Posted: Sat Nov 21, 2015 7:21 am
I know that people have been modifying their HUDDLESTONS for years with the Butch Brown mod by cutting the stock top hook and replacing with a treble hook & steel wire or braid.
1. Most of the top hook style swimbaits besides a Hudd (Optimum, Osprey, RAGO, Mattlures etc.) come with a decent hook but if someone would ever want to replace the top hook...will a butch brown rig work on these also...???
I don't like having a belly style treble hook on a line thru swimbait as some of the waters I fish (Urban Ponds/Lakes) are kind of shallow and I want to crawl my swimbaits near the bottom and don't want to get snagged/hung up.
2. Was wondering if it would be possible to rig line thrus butch brown way...???
If its not...probably best to use these swimbaits for situations/areas or scenarios where I need to fish the bait near the surface or even sub surface at a certain depth where I know there is no apparent structure/cover to get snagged on right...???
