A stainless screw in the head of the lure, no lead at all, and you get a high running action with a slow fall that no weighted head can reproduce. Sold in tens, it is worth keeping a stock: you bend one now and then and you always leave a few behind in worn out baits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e35 or 45 mm: what you need to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel spring screw for shallow rigging of soft baits, made by Wolfcreek Lures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSize S: 35 mm long by 6 mm in diameter, intended for lures from 15 to 22 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSize L: 45 mm long by 8 mm in diameter, intended for lures from 23 to 30 cm and beyond\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in packs of 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo added weight: the lure keeps its original density and natural fall speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility stated by the brand: Wolfcreek Shad 15, 17, 20, 25 and 30 cm, Curly 22 and 29 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlastic free packaging, recyclable with paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePike, catfish and musky, in shallow water searching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe shallow rig, when slowness makes the difference\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eshallow rig\u003c\/strong\u003e answers a precise situation: fish holding high, over one to two metres of water, above weed beds or along banks where a weighted rig would snag constantly. By taking all lead out of the rig, you let the lure work at its original density. The fall becomes long, almost gliding, and it is often during that phase that the following \u003cstrong\u003epike\u003c\/strong\u003e finally commits. The stainless screw is therefore not only a fixing, it defines a fishing strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a screw rather than a hook pushed into the head\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hook simply pushed into the rubber makes a hole that widens with every cast, and the \u003cstrong\u003esoft bait\u003c\/strong\u003e ends up slipping or tearing. The spring of the screw spreads the load along the whole length of the thread, which greatly extends the life of the lure. Stainless steel also avoids corrosion and premature fatigue of the spring, which counts when you store rigged lures from one session to the next. In practice, screw in slowly and straight, without forcing, and re-seat it cleanly after a few fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrewed into the head, in line with the lure, with no added weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClassic pairing with a belly harness to cover the rear of the lure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlternative in very heavy cover, used on its own to prioritise snagless presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplace it as soon as the spring deforms, an oval screw holds nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the hookset, the screw is logically completed by the brand's \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/hamecon-wolfcreek-lures-stinger-wire\"\u003eStinger Wire\u003c\/a\u003e, whose treble sits towards the tail of the lure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eS or L: matching the screw to the lure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice comes down to size, and diameter matters as much as length. The S at 6 mm suits lures from 15 to 22 cm, where a bigger screw would tear the head. The L at 8 mm is made for large volumes from 23 cm up, where you need enough material to hold a 200 g lure on the cast. When in doubt, take the size matching the largest lure in your box, since a screw that is too thin turns in the rubber and lets go at the worst moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe match is direct with the three sizes of the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/leurre-souple-wolfcreek-lures-shad-2-0\"\u003eWolfcreek Shad 2.0\u003c\/a\u003e: the S for the 20 cm, the L for the 25 and 30 cm.
