Big Weenie Grease Traps

[carpedium]

I have been on the fence about pulling the trigger on the grease traps. I am trying to find a solid program for Lakers in deep water adirondack lakes. The main issue is the cost of the things, but other than that, what do you guys pull behind them? I have seen recommendations for vibrating flys, etc. but I have zero experience with that type of fly. 

 

Any recommendations?

I'm a big fan of the grease trap. We run a yakima bait wobble glow (peanut)  or  spin-n-glo. 30 to 36 inches back. Works great on copper ! Wes

Ihave a buddy that hasn't had any luck with them. Maybe he isnt running them right. Any suggestions on setup?

We ran them local with zero luck. We had spin n glo's behind them. We have also lost two rigs to the bottom. Lake Winnipesaukee is a very unforgiving lake with a ton of structure. It is dificult to target bottom dwelling species without hanging up often and at the pice of the grease trap I am now saving them for my trips out west. We get some suspended fish, but not like other lakes where they are up working a bait ball.

Our most efficiant method is Yanking bottom with spoons, which works down to around 70' after that there is a ton of line out and depending on water conditions it is hard to keep bottom. Especially with how it changes so quickly on that lake.

We did like the looks of the grease trap but our local fish didn't.

I run them on 600'copper. I do not bounce bottom! Bottom is a good place to catch fish but not with pricey rigs. We like suspended fish of this rig. Many big fish and some days half the fish are on that rig. Mt. dew color has been good.

These are half the price... maybe I'll give it a shot

I looked at the traps but they are way too expensive for me.  Hammerhead Cowbells works awesome so I will stick with them.  Spin N Glows and peanuts will work fine behind them if you do make the purchase Matt.

Thanks for the info Brian.  What color cow bells work best for you? I have a blue and silver set that I run a chartreuse spin and glow behind and I have yet to catch anything on it.

We hit them hard with cowbells pulling a sutton on the bottom.  I bought a grease trap this winter and I'm excited to run them side by side
