Rarely use minnows, but when I do I use a #4 Aberdeen bronze hook (probably Eagle Claw brand).

i attach the snelled hook to swivel. With my weight above the swivel. So coming up from the hook, is hook, snelled leader, swivel, lead on main line, slip cork, tied bobber stop. I just poke the snelled loop thru the bottom of the swivel, push the hook thru the loop and pull tight.Quote:
Do you attach to a swivel? Or directly to a line?

Just bend ‘em before powder coating ...

ps ... I promise the hook will no longer be “sharpen-able” before the paint wears off ...

This may be a stupid question, but why do you paint the hook to the bend?

I believe #2 gold hook is an over all good hook for minnows when crappie fish.

Painting the hook point clogs the barb just like it would clog the eye if painted ...Quote:
