Rigging Bait Rigs with Gulp Bait Swimmers

You need to modify the Twinkie Rig a bit to run them and you run them differently than you do "real" herring strips:

Make sure that you have a good piece of toothpick in the back hole that the line runs through.  This keeps the line from slipping.  Shorten or remove the front end of the "line guard".  Unlike when you run "real" bait strips, bury the hook in the back of the Gulp Bait Swimmer as shown.

Pull the line tight to give the bait a curve.  This it vital to your success.  The bait head is designed to work with much lighter bait strips and you will not get a good rotation without this curve.  Believe me, I dragged these things through the water a long time before I figured this out, and it is the difference between nothing and WOW!

Notice that I trimmed the front end of the bait to make it fit in the bait head easier.  This stuff is real tough, don't worry about doing that.

One last tip - run the rig on your rigger about 10-15' back at the most.  Put a diver down next to it with a spoon so that the diver runs at about the same depth.  Sometimes the fish will come in to look at this, turn away and find that spoon much more to their liking.

Remember - a rig does not have to take a hit to catch fish!
