I always use live bait, and circle hook rigs , for easy release on undersize fish. I buy a couple dozen suckers , shiners, or whatever, and put them in an a tank with aerator. but day to day, they die off. so, I decided they are going to the lake, I salted and put in baggie and in freezer. I went out spearing, and put up 2 traps with dead bait. I could not keep flags down, and di manage to get one keeper. , but mostly had stolen bait. I have heard , dead bait needs to be watched better then live bait, not sure why., but I am thinking , I may need to loose the circle hook rigs , and go to treble, or quickstrike, when using dead bait. I had 2 traps, and about 14 dead minnows, ran out of bait. Thoughts on rigs for dead bait?Thanks
