    Default Souping up krocodile spoons

    Here's a quick little trick! no pictures necessary. A good way to increase the flash on your krocodile spoons is to intentionally scuff them up with coarse sandpaper! Try it!

    here's How i do it-- scuff the Kroc in an "X" movement, this will cause a cross-hatch effect.

    Just.. don't do it to a prism flash

    Thanks for the tip.

    What about the small red plastic bleeder ? (I have been cutting them off)
    How about the swivel ? (I take them off too)

    The only thing I add is a Sure Set hook. Other than that, Krocs work for me.
    I might try the sandpaper, though. Nice mod.

    I usually remove the blood tags, they cause nothing but problems for me.

    The swivels bother me as well, I never really saw a reason for them to be there! They just get in the way..

    What's the point, when you have a split ring on already?

    The swivels cut down on line twist. IMHO

    That's true, if you're trolling them.

    however, that's not much of a problem if you're just tossin it out..
