familiar bite?

[Mike Plotner]

what is familiar bite ? is it like a cut bait rig

[Tim Bromund]

It's whole alewives. dipped right here out of Lake O. I started using it last year, since the cut bait became scarce and it worked well for me.

I still have some in the freezer, but I'll probably get some more before the summer is over.

Thanks Tim

do you run them off the twinkie rigs like the cut bait or is there a diff set-up for them?

[Tim Bromund]

Yeah basically it's a twinkie rig. Great Lakes Tackle Supplies calls em daisy chains, but really the same thing. They also have a special head that the whole alewife head fits into, but they don't seem to currently have em up for sale on their website www.gltsupplies.com maybe e-mail em and see if they are going to be available soon.

you can also rig em up without a head with a double slide hook rig (easier to show than explain) as long as you get the right bend in the alewife to get the proper roll.

A friend of mine Gary who fishes Lake Michigan has a online store at http://www.bigweeniebrand.com/ He sells whole bait rigs along with flies, tapes, lots of neat stuff. I've been using his stuff for years with great success. Gary is a great guy...a pleasure doing business with.

Him and his wife rescue weiner dogs hence the name. Check out his website...you won't regret it www.bigweeniebrand.com
