I believe it! I had a fella bring some similar lures along and do quiet well with them. I’ve personally never used them but might have to try one day!

Keep in mind that it can be hard on them if you hold their weight up with your hand on the soft part of their stomach, keep your hand back more on the tail muscle...nice catching though.

Awesome and very helpful. Help me out with one thing though (and keep in mind I'm a newbie). I'm fishing in First Connecticut--a medium lake (2800 acres) in New Hampshire. Most of the info I've gotten suggests that lake trout 'have tender mouths and prefer smaller baits' . Definitely different from your experience. Do you think there are regional differences or should I dump the small bait people and go with your big boys? Again, thanks for the video.

@weaversbentrods

Жыл бұрын

If they are smaller fish yes it’s very possible. The medium to big fish defiantly do not have soft mouths often times you need to set the hook multiple times to make sure it’s good. As far as bait size i’ve seen them hit baits half the size of them when they are hungry. Keep trying different things and see what works on your lake!

Outstanding video - heading to one of my favorite LT lakes in ON here in September! You probably deleted all the negative comments about that joker who was hassling you... "...are you going to leave some for anybody else..." What a BOZO (official fisherman term). Good for you for taking the high road and not commenting. I had to. People like that are such "......"
