einscodek Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Too lazy to get the boat out this morn and decided to bankbeat.. in 3 hours of work landed close to 20 fish (lost count) mostly 2-3 pounders but did cap it off with 2 hosses: 21" 5.5 lb and a 20" 4 3/4lb (the 20" broke my flippin stick and ended my day) Even Mattlures got into it .. first fish on Mattlures only a 14" but hey its the first on the Hardgill.. gonna use it alil more going forward. Fishin itch is scratched for another week.. 8 Quote

Super User everythingthatswims Posted July 18, 2015 Super User Posted July 18, 2015 Can you explain what you've got going on with the lead on the trebles? I have a slow floater, and seeing this intrigues me. Nice fish! 1 Quote

Slow floater? I have a floater and I think I made the right decision. Reason is I can essentially make this floater a slow sink (which is how its rigged in the pic) or leave it as a floater or fish it like a drop shot (which is a bit of a pain to rig up) I did it awhile ago but I believe its 2 x 1/8 ounce weight one on each treble Quote

I never knew what exactly that meant I could have sworn it was called a slow floater when I bought it on one of the releases which I believe was in october or november last year (at least that's when I received the bait). I'm sure there is some reason you would need a heavy floater rather than a normal floater, but I don't know the difference. Quote
