Doug Smotherman Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I caught about 1 gar out of every 10 runs. I use a #4 treble hook with small cut bait. I also use rope baits. I need tips for rigs with cut bait. I heard theres a lasso rigs, but know how to set them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I have used rope, I would rub the rope on dead smelly cut bait, they would grab the frayed rope and twist around and get their teeth stuck in it. I wouldnt use a hook while using the rope. This has been the best way to catch them that I have tried! It isnt easy getting them unwrapped from the rope after you catch them though.

TMF89 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 What about a long thin hook, like a #8 Aberdeen, with a crappie minnow threaded onto it, under a bobber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ec30_06 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Might work. The problem is the mouth is very hard and bony, making it hard for any hook to stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
