New To Red Fins...

No floro (it sinks). Loop knot works on the line tie, or light split ring. Heavy wire hook on the tail. Light wire hook in the middle. And occassionally a suspending dot or 3 on the tail. And just accept that not every red fin is going to wake. Most of them can be adjusted to wake, but some cannot. At least not for my patience/tinker level, which is pretty high.

On the retrieve: Rod tip very high, and slowly reel it watching for the wiggle, as the bait gets closer lower the rod tip to keep the wiggle going. I probably get 2 out of 3 to work with those modifications.

I think some guy or gal at the Cotton Cordel factory just laughs every time they change the size, weight, or number of rattles - or when they poor a little excess epoxy on the inside. Just to keep me guessing.
