How do you get 3 1/2" cubes of meat on the hook?

I use a home made "Meat screw" to hold my meat on! Looks a bit funny but it really does work well! No matter how hard you cast it never comes off!

Is that (a) a 3½ inch cube? or (b) 3 x ½ inch cubes?

If (a) then I would probably use a large hook (size 4 or 2 at least) with a longish Hair rig with a length of Biro tube threaded onto the hair to prevent the hair from cutting through the meat so easily and a lage flat meat-stop to prevent the meat from slipping off the end of the hair.

If (b) then I would probably just mount them on a hair as normal and use a size 8 or 10 hook.

NB. I have never used a chunk of luncheanmeat larger than around an inch & a half in size anyway.
