4/06 Dana Point Report

[DanaPT]

Rossman, I did see you out there. What time did you set out? Did you launch from Doho?

On the set-up: A fellow by the name of Ray gave one to me while out on the water in DP. I lost that set-up before I was able to duplicate. I noticed that the Jig Stop sold them for about $3.50, well worth it. After losing a couple, I figured It be more economical to make my own.

Very easy to set-up to use and make. The real trick is the very small tube of elastic plastic tubing that is used to keep the circle hook snug BUT able to "slide" to fit your bait. (you can buy that too at the Jig Stop)

I use about 16-20 inches of line. Tie off the treble hook, slide the tube over the circle hook with the line in the tube. Put the line through the circle hook's eye. (picture not to scale).

Put the circle hook in the bait's nose. Put on of the treble hook's point somewhere near the tail of the bait fish and drop it!

Seems logical. When the fish gobbles up the bait they tend to get hooked by one of four sharp points.

Thanks for the info on the set up, does it work with live and dead bait? or just live.
