Just wondering if anyone has any good rigging ideas for top water rats  Any special tricks that you do to the bait before casting it out? Pete  |

Pete Fill them with pieces of plastic worm, makes them heavier and easier to cast on heavy line. I also bend the hooks up just a bit seems to help hook ups a bit. Jeremy  |

HI Pete, and yes it sure did I took two of the same baits one with beads and one without. The one without caught 9 fish all in the 1 to 2.3 lbs. The one with beads caught 6 fish but the weight was 2.0 to 4.0 lbs . So not as many but much heavier and looking back on my notes it was the same on 3 out of the 5 bodies of water we fish. I hope this was helpfull.......

That's great. Thanks for that update. I certain cases quantity out weighs quality  but since most on here are tournament anglers, the opposite is true.  Pete |
