Default Re: Chix Livers

the few times Ive used them w chum for hybrids I would just wear surgical gloves the night before and clean them all up into the right size chunks for the hooks Im using. I know guys said trebles earlier but that is almost a guarantee for gut hooks unless your keeping the species of fish. a single hook u can cut off the line and it will rust away fish will live, a treble usually blocks the tongue and the fish will starve not being able to get food down to its gullet. Thread works great and ive seen a nice trick. Tie off some hooks w snells or regular knots and get a large sewing needle. leave 2-3 feet of line off the hook and wrap them on a pool noodle. Use the large needle thread ur line and then go thru the chix liver a few times sewing it basically then tie it off to ur swivel and main line. works great takes a little longer but they hold well
