I set mine up for a number 3 xxlong stainless eye and attached it to a gammi big river 12/0 hook
absolute killer.Expensive but killer.
Just sent some to Capt john in North carolina on the Procastinator
Thoughts

Not a bad idea at all. I dont see too many local guys using them offshore here in Jersey, but to the south, they use a lot of them. They troll and jig them, yet we dont look twice at them up here. ( funny how geographic fishing goes)
My theory is : if they work down there, they should work up here.

I like the idea you came up with, it sounds like it would work well.
