FLIP CLIPS? - 10/16/13 02:16 AM

Where can I get them around Lake Fork?

Anyone used them?

Do they work?

Thanks

Get some big sinkers (2-3oz) and put them on metal clips on your culling rings they will keep the fish down...

Don't they need to be clipped to the bottom lobe of the tail fun to work?? Keeping them upright...

I have done it both ways (flip clips and weighting culling rings) and they both work, the clip through the lower jaw and weighted will keep them upright....

Flip Clips work great. Cam usually has them at Lake Fork Marina.

We use them all the time. You can order directly from them. Free shipping if you order a certain amount. You put them on their anal fin. When a fish can't get upright they will eventually die in the livewell. This gets them back upright. I found a 5# floater prefishing Bob Sandlin a couple years ago. Grabbed it up, treated my livewell, and put 2-3 clips on it to get it upright. About an hour later I let him go and swam off. I saw another one the same day but couldn't relocate it when I turned the boat around to check.

Oak Cove is where I bought mine . I caught a small post spawn over in a tournament that was just beat all to hell. As soon as I put her in the livewell she went on her side. Called around and Oak Cove was the only place that had them so we drove over there to get them. Put 3 of them on her to get her back up right. At the end of the day she swam away acting like she was good to go

Use flip clips if you don't know how to properly fizz fish.
