Does anybody who uses Red Gills load them...

I rig mine with a 3/0 hook and this spring I tried inserting a small Sluggo weight into the hook cavity to to see if it would help to keep the teaser from acting like an air brake on the cast...

I dunno, I suppose I need to do a side by side in the daytime to see if it really does make any appreciable difference...

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
