Hazy Eye Stinger Hook 3-Pack (Product Code HTL00006) This stinger hook is designed to be added to the line tie end of a jigging spoon (slab) to increase your strike-to-catch ratio. This is particularly effective in the cool water period from Nov. through March but works year ‘round.

To attach to a slab, simply insert the braided loop through the line tie eye of the slab, then pass the hook through the loop, then cinch the loop tightly against the line tie and, using your fingernails, position it at the base of the line tie, where the line tie contacts the body of the slab.

This is extremely effective on largemouth bass and prevents fish lost at boatside due to head-shaking. If you carefully observed hooked fish, you will notice how many fish are primarily hooked with the stinger. The treble hook will be found outside the mouth of the fish (i.e. in the head, gill cover, etc.) where it digs in after the stinger hook initially hooks the fish (see photo of stinger hook in fish's mouth for a visual on correct placement of the stinger).

If you fish a slab, you should not fish one without a stinger. I fish for a living and have a stinger on every single slab I use.

These hooks increase the performance of any slab they are attached to, but are specifically designed to be used on my Hazy Eye Slabs available on this website.

To attach a Hazy Eye Stinger, push the braided loop through the line-tie end of your slab (opposite the treble hook end) until the heat-shrink tubing is halfway through the eye. Spread the loop open and pass it over the line tie and over the point and bend of the hook, then cinch it tight. So the hook doesn’t tangle on your slab’s treble hook, the tolerance on the braided loop is very tight. You will likely need to bear down with your fingernail or thumbnail to get the braided loop to slip over the bend of the hook.

As you use the Hazy Eye Stinger Hook, you’ll notice that it performs best in cooler water, generally from October through March, but improves performance year ‘round.

Simply look closely at the fish you catch and observe which hook is actually in the fish’s mouth. More often than not, the Hazy Eye Stinger Hook will be the one which caught the fish, and the treble hook will be other than in the fish’s mouth (i.e. in the gill plate, the forehead, the nose, or perhaps not in the fish at all).
