Trolling minners (thought of the day)

[65pontiac]

longlining. want to try the taser jigs i won but want to longline them

[specktacklure]

I haven't ever really used minners until the last year & that's just a few times depending on where we are fishin.
I sometimes hook em in the tail or through the eyes so I was sure how you were doin it, they may die faster
if they are gettin dragged backwards However we have pulled some before & it seems like after 45 mins if they
are still on there they are dead.

Russ, I would troll the same way you have been trolling with other jigs....Just my

[Barnacle Bill]

They will last longer if you hook them thru the mouth from the bottom up.

yea, sometimes it's fun to experiment with differant things.

Times are hard when you have to troll with minners......

[Shine Runner]

I guess times are hard all the time then..................

Russ, you can longline them with minners or without or just add a nibble or wax worm or what ever extra piece of attractant you like. Minners never hurt any bait. Guess that's why so many tournaments are won with a minner on the end of a multitude of different jigs or just a plain old hook. As for life of the minner, I agree on hooking up thru the bottom lip and out the top lip as straight as you can to help it track straight. Those heads track pretty darn good. I have used them over 1 MPH just as good as crawling along at .2. Let me know if I can help.
