Brads Cut Bait Plug - What is that smell?
downtime replied to Mushy's Dad's topic in Lure Making Discussion
this may not be the right place for this post .but here goes i have some of the brads cut baits and tried them last year every time i did i had a huge tangle in fact the only tangles i had last year that did not invole fish on the line i tried diffrent swivels and tried tied direct did not matter what i did .any thoughts on what was wrong i only tried them on riggers and i did not put them behind flashers or dodgers was going to toss them but have not yet any thoughts on what i am doing wrong. -
i would try with what you have already and save some cash. you never know when something may come up when you own a boat
