Cut Bait?

[BMZ]

Making first trip out to Olcott this coming August and reading posts/reportrs on set-up.

 

I see many guys using cut bait?  Is this frozen bait? Fished w a fly?

 

Any info appreciated.

 

Thanks

We taken some nice fish on twinkies behind an 11" plate or behind slashers.

I've been using cut bait behind an 11" Hot Spot flasher for years now & that's always been my first rod down & deepest. I usually run it behind an 11" Bullfrog & I use a Hot Spot Rollerbaiter to hold the cut bait. The thing about the Rollerbaiter is it has a rudder attached that gives it the right roll. Unfortunately you can't get the Rhys Davis cut bait anymore & that was a great piece of meat.For the Rollerbaiter you should use the #3 size for cut bait.

You can buy Familiar Bite cut too Rhys specs..... and yes they still catch lots of fish.

the cut bait they're referring to is packaged & brined, some will brine again to toughen & add color - blue, green, red...

Erie Dearie is another brand but hard to find around here.
