A cheap way to lose less lures and less money

[Izzi Fishing]

   Hi
Well, I bet anyone among you has already become a rage monster ( have a look at dude perfect fishing stereotypes ), and has almost thrown his rod into water after having loosed his fourth worm in a bass mouth . 
The solution for this problem is a O rig tool and small rings of plastic you can buy in some fishing store . The problem is that we can't find these tools in any stores especially when you live in france where bass fishing is just beginning to be deemed interesting ! And anyway, have you ever noticed how expensive this is for just a little piece of plastic . I don't pretend to have invented something but I just want to share with you a little tip which could be a bit annoying and might take time but this is very efficient and allowed me to take more than 20 bass on the same lure .
you'll need
-a piece of transparent plastic pipe with a diametre corresponding to the diametre of the lure you wat to rig (I use tranparent aquarium pipes for more discretion)
-a lighter to heat up plastic
-a conic tool such as a pen to make the rig larger if necessary
-a wacky hook

Then you're going to cut a thin slice of this pipe (about 3 ou 4 mm) and you are going to thread the hook on the lure . If their sizes don't match you will have to heat the ring up to soften it and then thread it on the conic tool you've chosen until the appropriate diametre . Once this step is done the ring would match perfectly with the lure . At this point it will change a bit compared to a classic Orig because you are not going to pull the hook between the ring and the soft bait BUT penetrate the slice of pipe and the bait from a side to an other . this operation might be a bit complicated but it will give to your lure an incredible strength .
I hope you have understood my english and this tip has been useful for you ! I will try to send pictures of this rig very soon (time difference piss me off !  )
cheers !

Thanks for the tip IzzI! Surgical tubing cut to 1/8 inch lengths works well also and you can color it.
