I am planning on running my stick baits on dulock snaps this year. Should I take the split rings off the nose of the lure and run the snaps right on the lure or can I keep the split rings? Not sure if it affects the action or not. Thanks in advance!

What's causing it?

Just bought two Cisco's for my brother's Lund, very high quality but not cheap.

I got a bunch of these spoons from my brother, anyone have much luck with these on lake o for trout or salmon? I have some good colors but I have not seen any threads about them.

Thanks! Sounds like WD-40 is the way to go

I inherited some older NK's from my brother, some of the silver backs are pretty dull. I am sure this has been asked and answered a bunch of times but what can be used to get the shine back? They also have a rust smell to them due to the split rings rusting up, is there anything to get rid of the smell? Thanks in advance

we have fished more on the east side of the north end. we killed them there last year, now can't get one...weird. gambler, are you fishing in the crowd in the middle of the north end?

I agree on the pike bite. We have now been out twice without a flag.

Sk8man- Is that when you are flat lining or running off of boards or both?

Thanks!

I just read Keating's 'Trolling for Trout & Salmon' book and when trolling stick baits off boards, he uses bead chain sinkers from where he runs his leaders to the stick bait. Does everyone do this? I didn't last year and we didn't pull a brown off our boards when trolling in the spring, wondering if that was the issue. I figured the stick baits we run (Smithwicks & Thunder sticks) would dive on their own. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

since they slide up and down the line to a certain stopping point, how do you let out the appropriate leader length and then still manage to 'lock' it in place to run? seems like you need two people to set a rod but I must be not visioning it clearly?

Lol

Fished the North end this morning, not a flag.... Probably the coldest I've ever been

Cool, thanks guys

I haven't heard for sure if there is a bait shop at the North end of Conesus. Looking to buy pike bait. Thanks for any info in advance!
