Esox pro

Its either hair bands or using doubled orings that are one size larger

Usually they fly off casting

So i used 2 this year to secure it and increase hook up ratio pb is 7 fish then after it ripped mid cast Try to stop getting smallmouth to jump i try but they usually manage to jump at least once or twice

I use 1/4 “ id od 3/8” of course they also come off when the fish jump

Only rig i use while canal is filled Quiet riot had their share in 1983 With one oring they don’t really tear they just fly off easier and usually do

Only trout i get are steelhead or browns when they start their run but i did catch a huge lake trout at summerville pier It actually looked like it was suffering from Barotrauma but I accidentally snagged it and revived it and i swam off So they will be fine when ice fishing

Alright now that my insanity is changing im curious do hair bands and the other things tear into senkos like orings

Alright for lake trout it seems to be 200ft Definitely confused as some people say they are fine and others say they aren’t

THANK YOU

Thank you wacky rig dropshot doesnt seem right as well it keeps the lure suspended and become of that if I wanted to use a dropshot there are otherbaits I would use that work far better

Will definitely try your technique

By the way thx for giving an answer and to the other guys who said closing the bail pulls it towards me

Because if I wanted to dropshot I would use live night crawlers which is actually extremely effective for smallmouth and gobies live on the bottom they dont live in the middle of the water column

So the fish with vent valves i dont have to worry about

Not saying it won’t just saying it wouldnt look right and I usually deadstick and let it sit on the bottom So it looks like a dead goby
