Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck. OH, a secret that is NOT so secret anymore, add a nail weight to one side of the bait to get a faster sink and more fish in the boat. Not all the time, but if it is windy or the fish are finicky. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck. Thad Rains Tight lines, keep safe and good luck. Thad Rains

With spinning tackle, if you'll close your bail manually instead of just reeling, line twist is cut down to a tiny amount, in my experience. PB: 10-01 on a Ribbit frog

I use 1/4" heat-shrink tubing cut into 1/4" lengths, but I never have heated them....I just use 'em "cold.". Last edited by phototex; 02/03/17 02:29 PM. PB: 10-01 on a Ribbit frog

Never caught anything bigger than 4 lbs on them. Not a finesse technique, but it works.....well. Last edited by phototex; 02/04/17 01:26 PM. PB: 10-01 on a Ribbit frog

I use 1/4" heat-shrink tubing cut into 1/4" lengths, but I never have heated them....I just use 'em "cold.". Give it a shot! It would make it a more "permanent" hold on the bait. If you are going to heat them up, you just need a simple bic lighter, and just move the flame under the tubing. Don't let the flame touch it, but just letting the heat shrink the tube till it has a good grip on the bait. This way the tubing will conform to the profile of the bait and wont be loose fitting.
