I bought some sea witches to run with Bally. Anyone know how to rig these skirts? Do you just put the bally behind the big side of the skirt? Do you need a head to run with these skirts?

I'm lost w/o pictures :smash:

You want the head of the witch facing forward up the line and the long hair should bend backwards around the 'hoo.

Run them so when you turn the front bar is about five feet in front of the back one..

I am modifying a couple of rigs that will stay up even when....way--way--way--way back !!!! I find the furthest back gets the hits. So hopefully the further the better..

Matt,

So the head/nose of the bally goes in the small skirt and the large skirt folds back over it? See storm in the pic, lack of fresh bally around:D

:uhuh::uhuh::uhuh::uhuh::uhuh::uhuh:

Blown foam is messy sticky crap. It won't last in water anyway.
I ordered some "special stuff" Just about done with the 18s, should work great.

I'm gonna do some 13s too.


BTW...NICE FISH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thefishingfreak 02-23-2008 03:49 PM
