quick strike rigs

[mullen2525]

I know a lot of people use quick strike rigs on Pike and bigger fish but does anyone use them on Bass, would it be overkill? 

[mullen2525]

no opinions on this?

The only thing I've caught bass on are waxies and mousies, so as far as I'm concerned, it would be a little overkill!

In the In-fisherman 06 ice fishing guide they have a whole article on cathcing bass through the ice, they suggest everything from a northland forage fry to a size 3 jigging rapala, so i'm geussing that bass like smaller baits through the ice.

My cousin caught a 19 incher on a quickstrike rig with a bluegill.  Would've preferred a pike, but whatever.


Actually, I think a quick-strike is going overboard, as bass dont take the bait like pike do.

single ho0ok with a shiner

definitely a single hook or just a single treble hook in a shiner

Bass don't have teeth-wire is not necessary.  I use a 4 foot leader of 6 or 8 flourocarbon.

I think a quickstrike rig would be a good thing to use. This operation would keep the bass from swallowing the hook and presenting further problems for the fish if being released.

i just use light line a number 12 treble and big fatheads for them seems small but bass seem to be lazy in the winter and want a small meal
