Baitrix Artificial Anchovy

I tried them and got strikes but couldn't make the fish stick. I am only using a single treble so I figure a stinger hook is a must for those rubber fakes?

Agreed -- I was using a treble main with a treble stinger and had no issues with hook ups.

I only tried Baitrix out once, found I had trouble getting the nice drillbit roll I was after. Not that I'm any bait rolling specialist, but with real bait you maybe have more options to get the curve you want.

Someone earlier in the thread said JDF heads work better with baitrix, so that might be worth a go...I also prefer them for bait too.

I got a herring strip baitrix too at pink salmon festival, so plan to give that a try next time (when not in a derby...real bait for that, not that it made any difference...)

They make them with a lead piece running down it so u can set the roll better. I used them alot this year, I found that side to side with an anchovie , the anchovie outproduced, but when i had my kids out that dont always pay as much attention to the rods as a more experienced angler, the baitrix outproduced, becauce we werent dragging empty heads when they missed a little hit. I soak mine is a solution of herring oil and x10 for a couple of days before using, that seems to make them fish better, it gets the scent right into them good.

I talked about them at the beginning of the year and have tried them one one rod all year ,with the anchovy and herring oil rub down , also cut a pocket in the inside part of the rubber head and stuffed with cotton wool soaked in herring oil , used exclusively with JDF heads and they performed the same as the bait or spoon , however for me this year the most hits have come on a green/white hootchie.
