Dan1, I have fished with meat off and on for the past 5 years, not a hit on it. This year I committed to running it regardless of activity.
First trip this year caught 5/6 on meat. Game on, we were in Olcott for 17 days fished 6 days. Caught 32 fish, 1/2 of the fish came on meat.
Make sure your meat if tuned and running correctly. I think either I was not paying close enough attention to the spin of the meat or something was
wrong in my setup. I am sold on meat now.
Enjoy,
Dan
