SLAMMER KIT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!

[gumpy2]

Great looking trout Hunter!  Little tubs!  They are obviously well fed.

[hunters08]

some of those  had 5 inch shad in their belly's

[steelie]

and a carp !

[jilly_bean]

pretty fish

[cp13]

some of those fish look a lot like kokanee

lol theyre steelhead...

[BAZOOKAJOE]

I hope you like to eat trout...cuz it looks like the slammer has a 100% mortality rate.  I would probably jig with hair jigs/spikes or egg imitations myself, if we had a place to icefish for L.O. run trout in NY.

It looks more to me like hunters08's GAFF has about a 100% mortality rate and I sure would be eating 5 pound browns and steelies. FIRE UP THE GRILL!

Gaffing big rainbows and browns when ice-fishing is a common practice where allowed.

With a Slammer Tip-Up and a suspended bait, most fish are hooked in the corner of the mouth or upper jaw. When slack-line floater-bait rigging in current, yes, they can take the bait down their throat. But one little #6 or #8 single hook or #16 treble down the throat is NOT going to cause that much blood.

Unless he's using 7/0+ sized hooks, all that blood is either from a gaff hook, bullet wound, or intentionally bleeding the fish (especially hens with spawn inside).
 
You can easily see where my buddy gaffed this fish which got wrapped up in the line and came in goofy.


It's much better to do a nice solid neck shot.

Hey hunters08 - Get an eye shot on that hook-jawed male brown or what?? You're not shooting those fish with a .22 are you? 

[flemdawg]

Gotta ask what is the limit on steelies there, because in that one pic i counted 10. That's just crazy. I only ask because here in NY it's a 1 steelhead limit.

[jimmyclaude]

Those bows look like footballs. WOW Very, Very. Nice
Question, since you are fishing with a jigging rod I am assuming you can only use two(i.e. two hand helds in NYS.....I am assuming you caught those bows in NYS)

There are a couple of threads about this ... Slammers are considared tip-ups/ traps in new york state (5) allowed with name and address. Slammers have an audible alarm (slam) when set off.

When that picture was taken, the Michigan inland lake limit was 5 fish per day (it is now 3). That was a two person limit that went to the smoker. Days like that are rare, but later that season, two buddies and I landed 18 fish in about an hour and a half and took home 15.

No gaff i bleedout all my fish!!!! I have an upgrade on the brown trout i will post her later along with some more slammer trout!!!! Have i ever mentioned we LOVE THE SLAMMER cant remember if i ever told you

[MA bass fishing]

how do you guy get those slammers to work so good? i went out this past weekend and had the bait striped 10 times without setting the slammer off one

[hunters08]

wow man i cant imagine anything stealing bait from my slammer. Why dont you post a picture of your slammer all set up maybe i can help. If i cant the guy that invented them is always on here

[MA bass fishing]

kk will post in 15 min

In NY you are allowed one steelhead in the tributaries...... But if you are fishing the lake or a bay you can 3.  there are certain mile markers or bridges or different things that are considered the beginning of where the  tributary regs take effect.

[MA bass fishing]

mine is a homeade version i no that it works because i have caught pickeral and perch on it but no the trout.  one question when you set the slammer up is the line tight tp the bait or do you give the fish line to run a couple of feet before going off

[MA bass fishing]

the slammer

[MA bass fishing]

the trigger

[MA bass fishing]

one more of the trigger

[MA bass fishing]

this trigger is really sensitive.  a little tap from a perch can trip it off

[hunters08]

I had a feeling it wasnt the kit. You should order the kit for 13 bux !! the way your trigger goes in the eye i would guess the trigger is the problem. I honestly doubt a 4 inch perch could steal bait from my slammer with out being hooked.I have never had bait stolen or ever missed a trout with my slammer 100% success(you would think i had stock in the slammer kit)I dont but i do love the "SLAMMER KIT"

[MA bass fishing]

i think that im going to make an arctic warriors for my jig stick part of the fun of fishing and the challenge  is setting the hook

[Slammerman]

MA Bass Fishing's device is basically what we call a SPOOLER (because you can get the line spooled off your reel without it releasing from the trip-wire). A couple of similarities in that there's a rod and reel with a drop away arm holding the rod under tension, but it's definitely NOT a Slammer.

[hunters08]

and the fish could really swallow the hook bad with that set-up

[miket.]

wow great pics, i need a couple of slammers, those things look cool.

[hunters08]

yes you should order the kit they are great you wont be dissapointed

[massmudder44]

those are some fat fish

[d3]

I am sold on the slammer.  I have never had any luck with trout on tip ups it looks like this is the answer.  Has any body ever use them for pike fishing.

i don:t want to sound like a noodle head but were can i get some of those, they look pretty cool.dying to try them out thanks for any input.
