This is the hook I use when I fish doughbait and works excellent. You'll need some small diameter mild steel wire or equiv. Must be able to bend and twist easily. Like the kind for hanging picture _frame_s,etc. Cut about a 12" piece of wire and coil it around a pencil or similar _object_ creating very tight coils. Cut a small piece about 5-8 coils, depending on your hook choice, expand the coils on the small piece to resemble a spring.Using the hook of your choice,(I use Gamakatsu Octopus hooks) slide the small piece down the shank and, with needlenose pliers, twist and secure tag ends to shank of hook. Once you get the hang of it, a couple dozen can be made in minutes. Upon take or hookset, the wire gets pushed back and doesn't cause any interference. Hope this helps. Please, Please, do not use treble hooks! Be a conservationist! Let the carp keep his lips!
