What Catches More Fish Stinger Rigs or Conventional Lures?

What Catches More Fish Stinger Rigs or Conventional Lures?

We get this question a lot and figured we would share are opinion on the matter since it is a new type of fishing for North America. 

Firstly, the stinger rig is designed specifically for catching predatory fish that have sharp teeth and strong jaws, such as pike and musky. These types of fish can easily bite through regular fishing line and escape, but the wire leader and treble hooks of the stinger rig provide added strength and durability to prevent this from happening.

Secondly, the stinger rig allows for a more natural presentation of the bait or lure. The treble hooks are attached to the wire leader underneith the bait or lure, which allows it to move more freely in the water without interference from the hooks. This can make the bait or lure look more realistic and enticing to the fish, increasing the chances of a strike.

Thirdly, the stinger rig provides a higher hook-up ratio than a regular fishing lure. Since the treble hooks are attached to the wire leader behind the bait or lure, they are more likely to hook the fish in the mouth rather than on the body or tail. This can lead to a more secure hook-up and a better chance of landing the fish.

Overall, the stinger rig is a versatile and effective tool for catching predatory fish that can be difficult to land with a regular fishing lure. It provides added strength and durability, allows for a more natural presentation of the bait or lure, and provides a higher hook-up ratio, all of which can increase the chances of a successful catch.
