Another Meat Question

[Barndog]

Do you ever run meat alone without a flasher in front and when would you do so? Just starting really working on our meat program and have been doing good so far using flashers.

 

Thanks!

I run clean meat all the time. If I'm running 2 coppers, one is clean and one with an 11 inch paddle.

My largest king ever came on a clean Rhys Davis meat head.

Going stealth...... In my boat it happens with great success. Lose the flasher and run it on a dipsey......game on

How far back from the Dipsy do you run the meat w/o flasher?

[rustyrat]

The length of the rod is my leader. 4 to 5 feet further with the bait head assembly.

How long is your Rod.....(I run 10'6" & 8'6") ???

Anything over 7'-8' makes netting a major pain in the arse. Never mind a Tyee at the back of the boat.

A extendable net handle will help some but, remember when the dipsey hits the top guide and you can't bend the rod any more and the trophy of a lifetime is 6" from the net you lead was to long.

10.6. But when running divers I always match the leader to rod length for ease in netting fish. Doesn't seem to matter to the fish.

I thought it would work on the riggers near a flasher on a nearby rigger. And back a little bit...

Try running it clean on a swr off your deepest rigger, especially late morning when the bite gets slow.

 

Usually my hottest rig, even better than my coppers.

Ok. Thanks for the info and thoughts on this. Gonna give it hell this weekend.
