Other than that, they look really good and stingers are a godsend when it comes to cod fishing so I can't see why it wouldn't work on the Z-reks so long as it dosn't take away from it's action. Keep up the good work and hope to see a report of the one that didn't get away with your stinger.

    Had the same thoughts Gaz,
    Nice tight snell (lucky 10 winds) on the terminal hook, but the tie to the main hook is a bit more dubious (2 hitches and a hangmans knot of sorts). Did think of superglue but used the last of it up on my Swimmerz the other day!

    Re the action: Any mod is going to effect it I gues so it's always going to be a compromise. My chief concern was the improved chance of snagage!

    I enjoy the tinkering, but for the price, it'd be nice if they came with a stinger rig... IMHO.
