Red Fin Altercations

[Jason Essary]

Now with the red fins ive heard a dozen ways to make the bait better than it is out of the package. Anyone want to give tips on anything that they do to the bait to make it work better??

Buy another one if the one I just bought dosen't work.

I have at least a dozen good ones now, and probably 3 times that in yucky ones. I change the hooks to Gammy's and down size the split rings. I also remove the front split and use a speed clip. Trim all excess plastic from around the break in the middle so it moves easily and pray it works. 1 out of 5 will be a absolute winner.

Good Luck

I recieved and e-mail from a Largemouth Bass Named big Baba who advised that he had several altercations with Red Fins and none were good. He did note that he was released each time and returned to the water.

Bill speaks the truth. Some Redfins just won't work properly no matter how much you tinker with them. I've found that the Jackall Mikey and Mikey Jr. wake baits are far more dependable, but they should be since they cost somewhere around $20 each. Good thing is you aren't apt to lose a wake bait on Table Rock. On my home lake of Beaver, you're risking feeding one to a striper every time you toss it out there.
