Parasite clips

Post by HillbillyGeek » Thu Jan 10, 2008 3:09 pm

Has anyone tried these? They used to be called "senko savers", and are designed to prevent soft baits from slipping down the hook. Last year I was frustrated by perch that would peck at my senko causing me to make false hook sets. My senkos usually slid down the hook and looped around the bottom of the hook. Hopefully these will help.

(Making your own using paper clips and needle-nose pliers would be easy.)

Interesting idea. Let us know how they work, but I have always just put a single drop of super glue on and slid the worm up.
Too much water, so many fish, too little time.
