Cool Question for Booger

Hey Booger,

When you rig your line for slow trolling, do you tie your hook or hooks to a leader or directly to your line?

Thanks,

John

I tie my hooks with a drop loop as seen in the picture - line is 12lb test and the hook is number 2 lite wire eagle claw-if you put the bend of hook up the line-the hook bend will be up all the time -better hook set for me any way-oh 1oz sinker and we are useing one hook right now -they seem to bite the one hook better -sinkum show me that little trick.

from the looks of that seat you are about ready for a new one you may have to slow down on your fishing

can't slow down -fall is coming on and the long liners will be out thier in my way- work on the seats when the snow is flying.

no ever body is catching cats right now -me and sinkum has talked about the cats seem they are early this year - they usely are bad in late fall feeding for winter -I am not getting new seats-I will have them fixed look at the price for new seats -bad as gas.
