I started fishing them last year and there was another thread on it where someone ? I forget who ; came up with a great idea which I followed and that is cutting a pocket behind the gill area and stuffing cotton wool into it then inject anchovy oil into it to allow a scent to remain with the bait for a longer period of time than just rubbing it on.
I did that and found the baitrix did quite well on the salmon of any specie , I also found that the blue/black one with the silver sparkle in it outfished the other ones in late summer early fall.
I rigged them as I would real bait and with a trailer 3/0 treble , interestingly I found that the extra weight associated with the rubberized bait meant a shortening of the leader line of between 6 to 9 ins. to get the roll and dance behind the flasher to hit that magic mark.
Any help Slabby 20 and the Fishin' Magician ?
Cheers
