Using our bait

Materials for a properly rigged Baitrix Midi Strip.

1. Leader material- 40 lb.
2. Leader Length 40 to 70 inches behind a Dodger or Flasher
3. Hook – 2/0 Siwash

Hook is positioned so that the curve of the hook is even with tail of bait. Hook is not embedded.

This is a deadly set-up for Chinooks & Coho. particularly in areas where Needlefish are present. It is also very effective for large Trout and Char. Click here to watch the animated version.

RIGGING OF BAITS

Herring Bait

Rig as you would a natural. Most common bait-holders and bait rigs work well with all Baitrix baits. We recommend leader lengths, using 40 lb. test line, of 58-72 inches when using the Baitrix Herring. You will find the built-in “roll” is a perfect 1-2 revolutions per second behind your favourite Flasher or Dodger at normal trolling speeds. A bend in the bait is not required. Glow Baits are rigged the same and are recommended when fishing depths below 60 feet…More

You can try variations of coloring the bait to suit what you need to catch more fish…More
