Tsunami


:humpty:

those things look sweet, I have been thinking about fishing those off monomoy in may/early june. how would they be rigged?

From shore....

I would put a egg sinker up front just ahead of a 7/0 to 8/0 bait hook coming out the top on a heavy mono leader and have the weight secured in place somehow.

Swim and twitch and pause. :cheers:

I couldnt resist and picked up some of those myself. Am trying to think of a way to rig them. They definately need some weight and insert weights would seem to take away from the appearence. Tandem hooks or a single in the head or in the tentacles like a tube?

If Tsunami or Storm made some of these pre-rigged and weighted like their other baits......:think:

I made a spreader bar last year out of the purple/pink ones for SBFT. It wasn't in the water 3 minutes before the first tuna took it. The only thing wrong with them is that you have to super glue the eyes in palce as they fall out. Other than that they are the balls for sbft trolling.

Tail end....NOT the tentacle/eye/head end .............. Large single bait hook

In the end that is flared which goes 1st when they swim....seems bass hit this end first...you could put a swivel just ahead of egg sinker and hook or toothpick jammed and glued.

Thanks for the tip on the eyes Flaptail!

shove a nite-n-gale inside???

I was thinking add the sinker ahead of the hook inside the squid and separate with some spacer beads
