See that capt george rig- in the bay try this-
aa) use a sinker on the 3 way instead of a buck tail.
bb) make the leader a little longer say 24 inches
cc) tag end slip on a bucktail skirt and tie on a 3/0 to 5/0 oct hook
dd) 12 inches up dropper loop, slip on bucktail skirt and another hook.
ee) small gulp , small piece squid what ever make sure it's small.
I just started experimenting w/ this, caught my 1st keeper on the season mick can attest to it.
I am curious to see how it works out front in the sticky, prbly have to go to 36" on the leader.
I wanted to try this in the sticky as a less $$ alternative to loosing bucktails.
Everything works just not at the same time, therefore IMHO to be successfull ,you have to be willing and able to change or as the conditions change, therefore understanding the species and knowing how to "tie" different rigs will give you and edge.
Experiment ? absolutely, especially when it's slooo bite.
good thread
thanks guys.
