    Don’t know the answer to that one as never tried it but welcome to the site. Please feel free to share and post all you want. I see you are from Fort Dodge. I grew up there [first 16 years] before coming to Minnesota.
    Thanks, Bill

    Squeeze the eye together and down, so instead of being round it is elongated and pointed to the bill. Most of the time we remove the split ring and attach with a Double-Lok Snap. You will get better action out of your jerks.

    What Ron (Slider) said.

    Doug Stange(sp?) from In-Fisherman is the one that usually says this on TV. He was probably fishing for Smallies. I saw the show last week.
