doesnt that quick strike setup make the bait hang head down?i always try to get it to lay natural but dont know if this matters?
The rig you use is almost exactly what I had been using, except I had one fixed treble, about the same size or a hair smaller than yours, and one free sliding treble. Mine were on 50lb florocarbon and I'd had reasonably good luck, aside from drag and drops, until this year when I had two fish, 16.5 and 14, both take the hook all the way into the "sphicter" of their throat- did not bode well for the fish either time. Also the exposure of so many treble points was getting me hung up on vegetation.
