Hit and Runs?????

<< < (2/3) > >>

MikeVT:
If you have one, use a SLAMMER.  I had the same experience last year, lost 3 on hit and runs.  Set up the Slammer and BANG!!  20" salmon.  Cut it open at home and it had 3 whole baits in its belly.  You may still miss a fish if the bait is not all the way in its mouth, but if he takes it good, the hook will be set.

sometimes when they are peeling off line i put slight pressure on the edge of the reel. i find they swallow the bait faster with less dropping of the bait. its like they think its trying to get away so they hurry and swallow it.

Danderson:
thats interesting cause all ive ever heard is that they drop it with some preassure ???

ifishhi:
i'll stop the line on a run, that works for me.

LAKEGEORGEJEFF:
Try small trebles.I use 18's and 20's.
