Lure making starter kit
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2015 12:29 pmHi Larry,
Being a beginner I was wonder how many Mr. Whiggleys could I make with just the Soft bait kit from www.makelure.com/store/p/655-Soft-Bait-Kit.aspx.
Also while I have you I have a live bait rigging question. I just started targeting large stripers using live bait in my local river and was wondering the best way to do this. I am using relatively large american shad 12 to 14" and as of now running braid to a swivel then 25lb fluorocarbon to a circle hook that is bridled to the bait. River conditions are clear and usually fishing anywhere from 15 feet down to 3 feet of water. Any suggestions on hook size and leader length or even a better way to rig this would be much appreciated
Thank you
