The IDEA is so that You can use a LARGE LIVE BAIT such as a BIG SUCKER/PERCH/TROUT/CHUB/JUMBO SHINERS and not have the LARGE LIVE BAITFISH tripping the flag continuously while You are waiting for a Large Fish (like a musky or pike) to take the bait and:
THEN THE LARGE FISH (like a musky or pike) WILL TRIP THE FLAG!
