I did it to a couple of glass cranking rods. Added 5 inches it a 7' and the same to a 7'6" rod. I was looking to use the extension a leverage and support while deep cranking the larger lipped variety of baits. Very happy with the result. A-Jay

It's something that's been a staple in salt water angling forever; adding a teaser ahead of a spoon. A streamer fly can also be used. Simply thread the feather of your choice on your mainline before rigging up your spoon. You can place the feather (single hook or treble) on small swivel and a short tag line if you want as well. Doubles are common with this deal. A-Jay

Yes, and it's OK. But it's not my favorite. In fact, it's not even a distant 5th. A-Jay

Here's the classic "It Depends" answer. Each bait and trailer will have a certain speed where it seems to work the best. Personally, as mentioned, I prefer a slow steady retrieve. The gear you chose depends on your reel's gear ratio and how you like to fish. Some like to use a faster reel and retrieve slowly. Others use a slower reel and reel a little faster. I prefer to use a mid-range reel (6.6:1) ad use a slow to moderate pace. As for where & when to throw them. There are no hard and fast rules, just like most of this sport, you do what works for you. The bait is not actually weedless though the blade on the head in front of the hook does offer some weedless qualities. Most of the places I'm using it would be called "around the cover" but definitely on some structure. I hate this saying but you can always "Let the fish tell you what they want". A-Jay

I was going to try to keep that one on the Down Low - Guess that's over. Kent use the 4.5 inch LFMS in a 3/8 ounce Long Bill head - you'll thank me later. A-Jay

I will not profess to be an expert with the bait but I've been fishing it a bit more lately and I'm really liking the versatility & success. As for trailers, Flukes, Trick Worms, and Slug-Go's have worked. I'm betting there are a ton of other baits that would work as well or perhaps even better. A couple of things to watch for; if the trailer is too big as compared to the weight and/or the size of the Scrounger & bill size, it may over power the action of the Scrounger head to where most if not all of the vibrating action is gone. The Long bill versions seen to work best for me. Also, boot tail type swim baits sometimes don't work that well. They have a specific action of their own which is not enhanced or improved by this type of head. They seem to fight each other more than anything else. And the single most effective retrieve for me (regardless of depth or conditions) has been a Slow Steady one; sometimes it seems almost too slow. Your reels gear ratio plays a role here. Good Luck A-Jay
