Double Hooked Baits

If you use tandem hooks in a mullet, ballyhoo (balao), mackerel, or other bait, you may experience difficulty in making them swim right. Try putting a small barrel swivel between the two hooks rather than linking the hooks together directly. The swivel adds flexibility and helps to eliminate spin or roll.
