Any one used assist hooks with regular plugs in freshwater? would appreciate your inputs and designs.
Thanks

I've seen them used on plugs rather than the usual jigs for some saltwater applications. The idea is to attatch both the plug and the assist hook to a clip and remove the plugs trebles.
Hookup ratio is reduced a little by this but for fish that do a lot of jumping and headshaking, like tarpon and barramundi, the risk of the fish using the lure as a lever to shake free is greatly reduced.

Never tried it myself though and so resisted posting this until the post had sat unasnswered for a week.
