Custom wraps on our new rods !!

Beautiful diamond wraps Bart, that takes talent!

... a mouse trap rig sounds like what I would call a bottom bouncer w/leader, only your 4 feet off bottom with 35 feet of leader, me 18” and 5’ leader.
Those rods look nice.Are they one piece or 2 or something else?
Do you run 2 speed reels? After thinking about shallow being 100 feet and those monsters I’m sure you do.
Gamakatsu hooks? I think they are the sharpest. They will stick into your thumbnail.
I make all my own ice fishing lures but 64/ounce and #8 trout shanked hooks...

Ok...fat, it looks like its called a stinger rig...we call it a mouse trap, but its more commonly known as a stinger rig. Heres a pic.....sometimes I use the treble as my second hook, sometimes another j hook. Depends whats biting.

Those are huge, Bart! I bet that was fun!

 

[Blak bart]

Seems the bull picture won't load ??

 

[Blak bart]

There she went.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Dang! He’s a big ‘un!

 

[Tnmountains]

The Bull head is the only salt water fish I have ever mounted. They are a beautiful fish just out of the water. That one is a dandy.

Bart, Congrats on landing those monsters! Were they hanging out around some floating debris or structure?

 

[Blak bart]

Nope....swam up from the middle of nowhere. Saw the big boy streak in from over 60-80 yards.....his big head was pushing a big wake !!
