With DNR Trout stocking in full swing, Sammy explained how to set up a simple rig to use for bait fishing! Power Bait trout dough on this rig is a great way to catch those stocked trout!
Probably the best video ive found on explaining and technique... i never really had anyone to teach me or take me fishing growing up.. so im learning a lot later in my adult life thanks to videos like this
Put a rubber bumper or a bead on the main line to stop the weight from slamming into bezel. Saves the embarrassment of snapping the line after several casts or when using a heavier egg sinker.
Is it okay if my leader is flourocarbon? I know that sinks more than mono. Just wondering if that would make a difference since I want my bait to float off surface. I assume a power bait or salmon eggs still wood but what if I'm using something like worm or liver?
Lol You do By tightening your line In other words you (or more specifically your reel) is holding the other end There will not be enough slack in your line for it to continue to pull through the sinker and rise to the top or too far up even
Do away with the swivel and just use a Carolina Keeper and a hook of your choosing tied directly to the end of your leader. Super simple and it will float bait better than with a swivel and heavy pre tied leader.
U have a lot better chance of catching them off the treble hook just get a size 20 and use a small enough ball of power bait to just cover the hook just bigger than a pea and you will never Miss one they swallow it every time…
