[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 70572, member: 11"] We run the hook through the tail and slide the tail down to the hook eye. Then we run the hook through again up by the head. That is why we are using the long shank hooks. We try to get the hook bend to end up right at the gill area. Then we wrap about 2 feet of thread around the smelt and the exposed hook tip and shank to draw the two close together. It also helps keep the squaw fish from ripping the bait off the hook and helps the pickled fish survive more casts if you have to try several times to hit the hole you are aiming for. Sturgeon like to hang out in depressions in the river floor. The deeper the better. I would like to see a picture of your rigging idea. The fact that the circle hooks are not a similar shape to the smelt is what has me perplexed. Sorta like hiding a large keychain in a hotdog. I just don't see it. [/QUOTE]
