I think Nelz mentioned this trick in Hawaii for porpoise... I think they use echolocation to pick up the clip (I think )

Last year during the kelp loss, and everyone was catching nice WSB, besides me The dogs were in full force and people were loosing a lot of baits... After loosing 2 or 3 baits within minutes of eachother to "ol knothead." I took to the paperclip method... Confidently dropped my bait in the water with paperclip on the tail. LINE PEELING!!!! And it wasn't a WSB!!! Stupid DOG!!!
