Saw these and thought they look useful.....

Any thoughts? Riggin suggestions?

PS. I'd be using mostly on Seneca

Try this. use a Heavy ball 15Lbs or better. attach the Grease trap to the back of the ball. above the ball attach your main line with a spin and glow or a williams spoon with a lead of 4-6 feet. use a stacker scotty powergrip release so that you can conect the release to the cable a foot or so above the ball. good luck.

Yup they work. I use the mountain dew holo grease trap then a vibrating big weenie fly. I use it on Seneca and Keuka.

this is a new one to me...interesting...

[chowder]

Not a magic bullet but can be useful. I suggest you just get one trap (umbrella rig) and then get a few different blade kits and switch out blades, it's a lot cheaper.

A similar product from Luhr Jensen http://www.luhrjensen.com/products/lake ... c-schoolie

[Trolling82]

The luhr jensen one is pretty sweet. Wish it came in different colors like the grease trap though....

LB, when I'm all done winning the tourney I'll let you borrow one!

You can get the LJ 6-pak schoolies in nickel, nickel w/ holo. flash, and chartreuse. Hammerhead Charters & Tackle (Jim Piano) offers components & complete Lake Trolls that are well worth considering as well.

stick with the big weenie grease trap. i have one and caught plenty lakers on them. i use it with a vibrating fly, peanut, or a small spoon as a chaser.

I never used a grease trap and I see how darkfisher sets up. Is this how it is used or are there different set ups?

Do they work on Lake "O"?

The grease traps work great on lakers. Just watch the video on the Big Weenie site. I have personal experience using them on the finger lakes and they worked great. Haven't tried them on Lake O but I'm sure they will work great there too.

Hmmmm.... Think I may have unintentionally let the cat out of someone's bag. Think I'm going to be blacklisted for exposing someone's fishing secret!

[jason]

82, your ok that is what this site is for is to help new fishermen. and pass along products that work.

Fishtails posted a video of Striper fishing in the video section. I believe he was using Grease Traps as an umbrella rig. It looks like he was fishing them off the riggers, but maybe(?) on a diver too. Perhaps Rod will chime in here.

The Grease Traps are great on lakers and guys love them on both the great lakes and small inland lakes. We sell alot to guys on Cumberland lake in Kentucky fishing for stripers, Colorado for Wipers, Nj and Penn for lakers and out west for lakers and of course the Finger Lakes. Best way to go is get a GT and extra blades, you can save alot of money. The blades change out in a flash. Less drag than cowbells but the cowbells do work great. Randy from Hit or Miss charters sells cowbells I think if you would rather have those. Rod did use them for stripers in the ocean. Small spoons, clean meat heads with a minnow, spin n glows or Vib flies all about 30" back. Any questions feel free to call anytime, Thanks guys, BW

Did they also buy flys? I was fishing Raystown in Pa. last fall for striper and plan on going back. I got a few greasetraps off you and was just wondering if they were trolling bait or flys.

[bigweenies]

Yes, they buy Vibrator flies down there. They run them on GT's and by themselves. I wish I could think of the lake, its in PA that a guy crushs them with GT's. Seems like it was man made as he says there is a lot of standing timber and he runs them just above the stuff. Maybe he reads this board and can help.

Here is something else they use the GT's and Vib flies on in Colo. I guess they fight like crazy. Thanks BW

Man made and standing timber sounds like Raystown , you can only troll about the top 30' and still you get a hold of a tree limb..................I had the whole tree one rigger down 60' and the other 90' lucked out got every thing back..................thanks for the info.
