Just a few on this trip. Recently though I've done very well on trout with the carolina rig.

Thanks Cory, good to hear from you!

@@haltysalty7537 yes sir! Always a fan!

Good question! I actually asked Ben the same question and what he said made since to me. It's two part- 1. The double uni knot (braid to leader) and then leader to first barrel swivel, is less likely to break or pull loose than braid to swivel. 2. Braid tied directly to swivel has a tendency to twist up and tangle, which I have experienced many times myself. To me, the second reason is the more important one. Thanks for the question.

@@haltysalty7537 great answer...gonna change mine up and see how they do. Thanks for the tip!

@@JohnHoard-xz5pw never a bad option on the knocker rig. And if you think about it, same principle - Bait floating a few inches off bottom, hardly any tension on hook. What length do you like on leader to hook portion from your main weight leader?

That's pretty interesting. And like I said in the description, there's no wrong way to soak bait. What stops the bank sinker/swivel from sliding all the way to the hook?

@@haltysalty7537 a bead and another swivel like a regular carolina rig

@@mikeyang3926 oh okay. Does the weight with swivel slide up your braid while you're fighting the fish? I've often had that happen with fishfinder weight connectors which I don't really like.

@@haltysalty7537 not really...i usually run a leader about 6-7' the swivel will stop at the connection knot...only time i had it pass is if a fish ran with it further than 6-7' and itll pass my connection knot

Great tip!!! I’m going out next week so I’m going to have to try this

I tend to do the same. I think you can get away with heavier mono up top too for strength and also something to grab when needed. Thanks for the comment!

🤙

Thanks Tanner

This technique should work good in August, especially if it's windy. Good luck!

Glad you liked it!

@@jeremyhurley2660 Good luck, thank you!

@@maxcoldest7196 good luck to you!

Thanks man!

@@charliedillon1400 spent much of my childhood doing the same, and then with my daughters. Good cheap fun with a meal to boot! Thanks for checking out the video.

North Carolina law (G.S. 14-401.24) states that it is a class 1 misdemeanor to fish with an unmanned aircraft system (a drone). However, it also specifically states that using the drone for "spotting, locating, recording, broadcasting, or streaming video of fish" or "deploying bait" is an exception to this.

Live Shiners. You can buy them at Modlins Store which is just past the New Park Boat Storage facility just over the bridge

You're Welcome

Great Question. I set my drag on "strike", which is the same tension you would want to fight the fish. No more, no less. This allows the drag to hook the fish. The circle hook sinks in immediately and typically will not come loose. This has been a popular video and I'm getting ready to make a new one in which I clarify in detail many of the questions that have been asked since it's release. Thanks for supporting the channel Craig!

You can't launch them, more like a lob. I can get a few cast before it's time to change bait. Mullet last the longest, they have a tough mouth. With the set up I'm using I can probably cast 30 yards

No, it was just sight casting in an area where some mullet were bunched up

I use the hooks that came with the KVD until they start to show some rust. I'll typically replace with the red gamakatsu trebles

Thanks Jeff!

Glenn, this is one bait I highly recommend having in your box! From April to November in warmer water, the wake bait can be very exciting to fish!

Putting an order in or will look at local shops when back in OBX. Looks like a fun way to get them!@@haltysalty7537

It is for sure! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.

Thanks buddy

Thanks buddy

Thanks for sharing that! Good to hear from you

That's pretty kind. Thank you! No plans to quit

haha, thanks buddy!🤙

Road trip! Can't wait

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you

Appreciate it!

Thanks buddy, show those boys down there a new "old" trick! Tight lines!

The 3/16 ounce seems to work good for the setting I was in, 3-7ft water slow retrieve. I think they only offer one hook size for that set up. I've also used the 1/4 but it sinks obviously quicker and would be better in 8-12ft

I know you do buddy. I could watch you troll those things all day!

You're welcome, thank you

Yeah I'm ready to go chase some reds!

Thanks

You bet, it matters. Thanks

Currently, if I'm not mistaken, they are illegal to catch in NC. At the time of this video, these mullet were caught on the OBX. Live bait is difficult to find in the winter

Tyrell, I'm glad you found my channel. Thanks for all the kind words and positive feedback!
