The stinger is attached in addition to the main hook of a soft lure. It helps hook fish that strike the rear of the lure and do not reach the jighead or main hook. What size soft lure is suitable for a 75 mm stinger? The 75 mm stinger is mainly suitable for smaller and medium-sized soft lures. The exact fit depends on the shape of the lure and the position of the main hook – the treble should be placed at the rear of the lure but should not overly hinder its natural action. Does 6 kg refer to the hook or the whole rig’s strength? 6 kg is the rated strength of the stinger rig. Actual durability also depends on wear, connection details, fishing method, and sudden loads caused by the fish. How do you attach the stinger to a soft lure? One point of the treble can be lightly fixed to the back or side of the lure. The other end connects to a suitable attachment point on the rig. The hook should be positioned to stay in place during casting but release easily when a fish strikes, without restricting the lure’s action. When is the VMC Stinger19 75 mm the right choice? This stinger is well-suited for situations where you use a more compact soft lure and fish are striking it cautiously from behind. The 75 mm length allows you to place the #8 treble at the rear of the lure without making the rig disproportionately long for a small lure. For larger soft lures, heavy pike setups, or high-load fishing methods, choose a longer, thicker, and higher-strength stinger. If the main hook already reaches the right hook-up area and fish are striking aggressively, an additional hook may not be necessary. An overly large or heavily placed stinger may impair the swimming action of the soft lure and increase the risk of snags. We recommend Choose the stinger mainly according to the lure length, not just the target fish size. The treble should be positioned where the fish is most likely to strike, but the rig should not restrict the lure’s tail or side movement. Fix one point of the treble gently to the lure’s surface – a hook pressed in too deep may not release well on a strike and can damage the soft lure. Check the wire and connections after every fish, snag, or hard cast. Replace any stinger that is twisted, frayed, or permanently bent. Also, ensure the treble points are straight and sharp. If the lure often picks up bottom vegetation, try placing the treble on the lure’s back or use the stinger only in more open fishing spots. When removing the small #8 treble, use long-nosed pliers. This protects both the fish and the angler’s hands, especially near the pike’s sharp teeth.
