1mainiac Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Standard pump handle is a variety of similar setups all based around a drop ball bounced off the bottom. My favorite is a 3 way swivel with a 12 to 18in long leader and a 1lb ball then a 5 ft leader back to the dodger and a spin n glow I run it off a wire line right down the chute. It can be very effective on Lake Trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rehcuob Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 thanks for the reply. so its the old lake trout setup I ran 20 years ago. Guess somethings are still the same just a different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenBeaver Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I've ran them with the 3 way swivel but recently switch to a planer board clip. How I set them up 6-8' mono leader clear snubbed and tie my braid to snubber let out 50' of line clip on your weight I typically run between 4 and 12oz weights let out however much line you want and attach my board.

Guess somethings are still the same just a different name. Exactly people just need a fancy name for a it now. As a kid 30 years ago my dad used to use the big jon dropper release that would drop the ball when a fish hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
