[QUOTE="Ristorapper, post: 85617, member: 810"] I've done both!! With slow death, make sure you use a quality barrell swivel [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] leave the tag end a little longer than normal rigs so that it aids in keeping the crawler where it needs to be. Feed the crawler up the hook until the nose of the crawler is beyond the eye of the hook and the tag end is "snagged'' into the nose of the crawler as well. I used to fish the Govs cup at the turn of the Century (a long time ago). The slow death was our go to usually during that time of the year on Sakakawea. Of course that SLOW DEATH HOOK wasn't available at that time. Did well using the lightweight long (aberdeen style) shanked TrueTurn hook back then. Just need to put a little bit bigger bend in them. Remember the lighter the hook the better they will stay "up" off the bottom in snaggy situations and usually they seem sharper. And you can get the true turn hook in a bait keeper style to help aid in keeping the crawler up on the shank like these. not sure the Slow Death hook has bait keeper style ???
