PRDATR Report post Posted July 23, 2018 how do you guys rig the power bait? I have terrible luck with it every time. Caught a couple today at Goldwater on worms. Same as Power Eggs. 4-6# test, #8 hook with a single split shot about 18" from the hook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest akaspecials Report post Posted July 23, 2018 how do you guys rig the power bait? I have terrible luck with it every time. Caught a couple today at Goldwater on worms. Tie small treble hook directly to the line. I prefer 6 to 8# line. I cut off the barbs so it's easier to retrieve since half the time they swallow it. Add split shot 18-24 inches up if fishing from the shore and drop on the bottom. Rig it 24-36 inches if trolling. Don't overload the hook with bait; trout have tiny mouths.

Thanks guys, did not mean to hijack his thread, but I seem to have bad luck with power bait. I rig it the same way but maybe too deep. I usually put the split shots 12-6" away from the hook. I will try the 18-24" next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
