Okay!

Jay, I regularly tie a Palomar knot. I left a 8" tagline when tying that knot so I could tie another treble onto it. If I were to use this to lay a 6" Cisco on the bottom, do you think this rig would hold up against a laker 25" and smaller? Huge fan of your content!!

I have a few questions id love your opinion on. When and on what set ups to use a barrel swivel on. Mostly crappie perch gills, with some walleye in the mix for me

Meet ya up the Jones rd this weekend!

@JaySiemens

Hey Jay. Another great video. Thanks. Curious about a couple things maybe you’d be willing to answer. First - no weight to keep the bait down? Next - here in Maine some of us use quick strikes for for Pike but rarely for lakers. We tend to tie them a bit different. We tie them so both hooks hang at the same length. Mostly because we often suspend the bait 6”-12” off the bottom and having the hooks at the same depth allows the bait to hang parallel to the bottom. So im curious why you tie them one above the other? Is it because your bait is always on the bottom and therefore laying flat? Do you never fish them suspended? And if so, do you rig it the same way? Thanks in advance for any input.

that was sick

I fish lakers on lake champlain NY, and if I run any leader over 10lb you won't get bit at all, its a whole different ball game for our fish then yours, I use a frostbite smoke show with a 2000 size diawa, 10lb braid with a 8lb floro leader, I mostly jig spoons for them.

What kind of under water camera do you use I can never find one quite like yours

My first time ice fishing, I went for lake trout and I was doing everything wrong. I had a 24" ul rod, using 2lb mono and a 1/10 Oz Swedish pimple. I went to the middle of the lake and dropped to the bottom. Fished for about 4 hours with no bites, so I decided to move and absolutely burned my spoon in. About half way up the water column it got smashed by a very sizable laker for the lake I was fishing - about 15ish lbs. The fight was silly since I obviously couldn't crank the drag down. It did some crazy runs and I was shaking the entire time. After about 10-15 minutes, I got her up to the hole, but the ice was about 20" thick and I hesitated reaching in there. The bait popped out when its head was next to, but not in the hole, and I hesitated again before reaching all the way up to my shoulder to grab it. I touched it, but couldn't get a hold on it, and I watched my pb laker disappear through the ice. Huge bummer.

Hey Jay, if you put a 15’ leader past your swivel, do you get issues while reeling it through your eyes on your rod?

Жыл бұрын

Use a loop to loop knot like you would use for attaching fly line leader to the floating line - you can also do a perfection loop knot with the braid and an improved clinch knot to the loop you just made. I use both of these but have found that a loop to loop using two perfection loop knots works best. *I live along Lake Superior where we are catching +40in lake trout so this has proven to handle some big lakers! Good luck and stay safe

Even better way to connect line and leader is to make a loop in the leader and then a uni-knot with the braid onto the loop. Never fails me
