Rigging The Huddleston Deluxe | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "First off, the Huddleston trout (the ROF #12's and #16's) already come pre-rigged with a large, single jig hook in it's back, so why go through all of this trouble, to give them an "after market" rigging?
    Well for starters, the ROF #5's do not come pre-rigged with the jig hook in the back. Yes, all of the Huddleston trout do have a ring in the belly, which will allow for the attachment of a split ring, and any hook you want to use, however, this hook placement will cause a much higher percentage of "bottom lip hooked fish", and even worse, a much higher percentage of "gill hooked fish", which when we stop to consider that this lure is primarily used for trophy bass, gill hooking is simply not acceptable."
