Cut Bait Question's.....

[hookum]

This Labor Day weekend will be my first attempt at Lake Ontario Salmon... My question is............

What's the story on "CUT BAIT"

Does it outperform fly's,spoon's etc. ?????

What is the actual cut bait and where to you get it...... (here in Jersey we would usually cut squid,bunker,sea robin's whatever, depending on what your fishing for...

What is the rigging technique..... Size hook etc?????

Thank's in advance for any advice............

Briefly - to run cut bait you need the cut bait and matching cut bait head OR whole bait and whole bait head. You can buy the bait heads pre-rigged just remember to use a round-square (not flat or just round) toothpick to secure the mono running through the bait head and the cut bait in place.

Round-square picks are best but the round will work too.

Thank's guy's.... Being my first time going solo I'll probaby just stick to fly's and spoon's.... Although maybe I'll grab some large fresh herring (alewives) before I head up..... Again thank's for the input....Rich
