Question, when I rig my tip-ups, I place the treble through the midsection of the smelt/herring and place a finish nail through the mouth to keep the bait straight.
I've been reading many posts on the quick set rig and was wondering if this type of rig will work, I read it on a different post. He said he places a treble through the midsection then slids a stinger with enough line to fasten a hook in the nose/mouth area. .

Kinda like that. Every Fish I have seen while spearing has attempted to grab the decoy in the head, even turned around to get a shot at the head. I'm going out Friday and plan on trying this type of rig. any suggestions?
I set one Tip-up out while spearing, in deeper water 15'. I spear in approx. 8 feet
