    A-Tom-Mic Meat Rigs question

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Picked up a couple A-Tom-Mic meat rigs and some herring strips to use for the first time. The meat holder has a small hole that goes through both sides. I'd imagine that is used to "pin" the meat in place inside the holder and then the treble hook goes through the meat in the back of the strip near the "tail". My question is what is used to pin the meat in the holder?

    Was setup by 5:30. Went straight to 125'. Went 14 for 22. 2 steelhead, 1 laker, 11 kings. Worked same area all morning. Caught fish on every pass. Every rod took hits. Even had two fish on the same rigger rod with spoon and cheater spoon. Rods covered IMG_2006.JPGIMG_2010.JPGIMG_2011.JPG20-80 down over 125. Marked small bait pods on every pass in the same area holding fish. Great morning. Slowed a bit after about 9am. Called it quits at 10:30. Spoons and flasher/flies. No particular color. Greens, oranges, whites, bluesIMG_1996.JPGFullSizeRender.jpg all took fish. Biggest fish on flasher/flies. A lot of skippy kings.

    Downrigger rod setup

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Some additional information might get you more responses :) For example what type of fishing and where. It makes a difference if you will be fishing in king territory for instance. 

    Are you going to use the rods and reels exclusively for downriggers? If so then a line counter may be unnecesary. Again, the specific line used  and leader depends on where you fish and what you are targeting as well as what types of things you intend to run.

     

    Thanks for the reply.  That's the tough part.  I think these will be exclusively downrigger rods, but I would like to use the same basic setup for Lake Erie walleye, Finger Lakes trout, and Lake Ontario salmon/trout.  So yes Kings are in the mix.  Is the same basic setup possible with changes to leaders, etc?  That's what I've been doing with my dipsy setups.
