CWC Stainless Single Shallow Stinger for Lures

Product benefits

The single CWC shallow stinger is a rigging accessory specifically designed to optimize hookups with soft‑plastic lures intended for pike and other predators. By adding an extra hook positioned precisely, it reduces missed strikes when fish grab the rear of the lure or attack with the tip of the mouth. Robust, discreet and easy to install, it secures your catches without restricting the lure's natural action.

Thanks to its durable steel braid and mounted single hook, this stinger offers an excellent balance of security, mobility and fish welfare. It integrates easily into shallow setups, ideal for working weedbeds, flats and bays where large pike like to hold. Whether you fish with cast‑and‑retrieve, towing or straight‑line techniques, this accessory significantly improves hookup rates.

Advantages and highlights

Fitting your rigs with a single stinger for soft‑plastics greatly increases your chances of turning a tentative tap into a landed fish. The hook positioned on the back or flank of the lure complements the main hook armament without impairing the action. This solution is particularly effective when fish follow, nip the tail or are wary in pressured areas.

The steel braid provides maximum cut resistance, even on large pike, while retaining high flexibility. It allows the lure to work freely without stiffening the rig. Using a single hook reduces vegetation snags and eases fish release, making it a smart choice for anglers who want to combine effectiveness and fish care.

Compact and lightweight, this stinger installs in seconds and fits a wide range of soft plastics. It is a valuable ally to refine your shallow rigs when prospecting cluttered areas, shallows or nearshore margins. Its thoughtful design makes it a trusted accessory for pike fishing throughout the season.

Usage tips

To get the best from this stinger, start by attaching the clip or ring of the stinger to the designated attachment on your jighead or shallow rig. Ensure the braid length allows the hook to sit naturally on the back, flank or belly of the lure without creating excessive tension.

Then insert the hook into the soft‑plastic or attach it to a purpose‑made anchor point so it follows the lure's profile. The goal is to maintain a fluid, realistic action while providing an optimal hooking surface in case of a strike. Feel free to slightly adjust the hook position according to the lure shape and the type of retrieve you want.

Finally, regularly check the condition of the braid, rings and hook point. After several fish or passes through heavy cover, sharpening or replacement may be necessary to keep a consistently effective rig. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly to extend the stinger's lifespan.

Question 2 : Can I use it both in shallow water and over cluttered areas?

Answer: Yes, this stinger is ideal for shallow fishing over weedbeds, branches or structure thanks to its less snag‑prone single hook and durable steel braid. By adjusting your retrieve speed and the weight of your jighead, you can precisely control lure depth and exploit the full potential of this shallow rig.
