take advantage of the extra
color and action to bring
fish to your rig. However,
this method is really prone
to snags, and can be
expensive to lose if you are
fishing the more shallow
rocky reefs.
I typically pair this method
with electric reels in deep
water and on flatter bars in
the open ocean. You can
build a ganoin by using a
3-way swivel connecting
the main braided line to
one end, a 6 foot ganoin
of heavy mono (80 pound
or heavier) to one of the
other sides, and lastly a
short heavy mono leader
connected to a large 12/0 J
hook that you hook your eel
or flounder plastic to.
Making a game plan for
your specific environment is
the best way to set yourself
up for success. Always
consider the time you have
to fish, the depth at which
you want to target, and the
overall fishing pressure to
help you decide between
durable baits like pipe jigs
or if a natural live bait is the
right choice. Get out there
and try it for yourself!
