BL are you using a "stinger" hook as well?

brnbser

use a stinger, a soft tip rod and reel with high line capacity, back off on the drag and point the rod tip at him, let'em run

no stinger hook, i just learn how to make a leader, now i need to

change?? ok, you have never steered me wrong, now how do i

put a stinger hook on???

bluffman2

this is one way of doing it,,hook your bait with the main hook then just stick 1 of the trebles in the baits tail and hang on..easy and effective...there are other ways to do it but this would be a good way for you to start out...(i think)...maybe more people will have a better idea....

Will this work with live bait, and can you use a treable hook

on both??

bluffman2

yes and yes...if you live baiting you might want to put the main hook in the tail and stinger through the nose ...that will allow the bait to swim more naturally and freely..

If the hooks pulling chances are you are putting to much pressure on the fish..You should have enough line..loosen your drag a little and let him run..
