Hot n Tot for Browns

[mdryer]

Hi guys

Anyone ever try using Hot nTot for Browns in the spring?  Thanks

Used to have good luck with the small ones run way back and/or off boards and if out deeper add a large split shot about 3 ft ahead of it.

Any body bait can have it's day with browns! If you think your going to get in tight with some of them you'll be losing some gear.

Yep, small ones 50' back on inside board lines.

I troll with them for bass and hit bottom at about 13' with 80' of 10# test mono.

deadly on smallies... like Rich said be carefull wehn getting in close they do run deep...

I have a larger size silv/ grn one I found floating  I put on the downrigger once in a while if it's slow. Got a real nice steelhead & a few kings over the years on it,but  I'll catch one fish on it right away if it works  & then it goes dead. . Crazy searching action on it.

Try running a bobber on the line about 15-25' in front of the hot-n-tots. This will keep them from running too deep when you send them towards shore on a side planer.
