manitoubass2 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I find these baits pretty interesting, and apparently there a pretty big deal in some pro tours at the moment. Seems like a boring way to fish to me, can't really see how you would impart any action to your baits other than just swimming them back to the boat??? Anyhow, anyone here have any experience fishing these style of lures? What do you use for bait etc? It's basically a heavy jig head, with 4 heavy wires attached in the mold, with snap swivels on the end of each wire for rigging baits to Edited October 31, 2011 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hmmm....kinda makes me think icefishing.... I was kinda thinking that too. If the jig was shaped to lift the baits off the bottom, and the wire was bent upwards to keep the baits 4-6" off the bottom, could be a really good walleye/panfish presentation. Of course there is the legality of it though, I'd have to take a look at that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 But for ice fishing we call them spreaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher_1 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 would that be legal to use in Ontario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 4 hooks on one line is the general rule....always check exceptions for where you're fishing. As for the spreader thing...I wasn't thinking of using it right on bottom...but just dangling a few jigs/swimbaits off it....let it hang at various depths and see what the lakers make of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hummmm.If you used 4 identical lures, it would look like a small group of bait fish. Could be a deadly tool!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungelarry Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 4 heavy wires...............I thought you had to have 4lb. flouro or the fish won't bite, there goes that theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch to floro and you'll hook alot of lawyers though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
