I have been hearing/reading about the slow death rig for several years now, but have yet to try them. Great vid!

[@glenmetcalfe9784]

I was just gonna joke about the same thing LOL im surprised you havnt been attacked by the facebook treehugger/new gen group.Since every fkn thing is under the microscope these days!

[@PlayinHookySportfishing]

Gotta love the efficiency of the storage of the rigs.

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

I love those things, organization is a must for me.

[@mnsotapop]

What brand are they? (The little yellow boards)

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

D McC I’m not sure of the brand name but I bought them at Cabelas.

[@sunahnuff]

I like the Funk’s G hybrid sign. I worked in the Traer plant during a couple summers when school was out. Great place to work! Sorted and bagged corn, ran a forklift truck and used it to stay in shape for football.

These Rigs works.🤠 The Old Michigan Fisherman

[@FishinTheMittinTV]

Definitely a guaranteed way to catch some walleye and other fish. Nice video Steve.

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Thanks Josh, I appreciate it!

[@jimlem2075]

GREAT VIDEO Steve,I add 3 beads a quick change clevis and colarado blade to the slow death and have the option to run it clean no blade or add a blade for more flash vibration.Was the ticket for me last year,give it a try see what you think.

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Jim Lemon thanks Jim! So you are sometimes using a spinner crawler type harness with slow death hooks? I have a bunch of spinners blade crawler harnesses I’ve made but had not put slow death hooks on it, just plain #2’s or 4’s. Thanks

[@StanleyOrchard]

Fantastic tutorial sir! We don't do much with worms down here but you have me curious about doing a similar presentation with shrimp. I gotta add You're video quality is looking really nice!

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Thank you sir Stanley! I got some friends giving me some help with video quality....nice bunch of guys. Take care my friend!

[@kenwindsoron1399]

Shrimp 🍤 hmmm for walleye ?

[@StanleyOrchard]

@@kenwindsoron1399 i'm a saltwater guy... same rig but with shrimp in saltwater

[@macsmith2092]

Thanks for sharing! I will give it a try this year.

[@JohnAmes]

Some great information my friend 👍

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Thank You John.

[@canvandal4503]

Great video. Good job of breaking it down. Thanks for sharing!

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Can't go wrong with those Mustads. They are SHARP

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Scary sharp sir! Take care and tight lines!

[@tonylachapelle5857]

Excellent.Thanks for sharing

[@teamfillabucket198]

Thanks for the tip Steve!

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Happy to help Jordan, see you out on the water!

[@carlbodene8150]

Nicely done!

[@chrishillard4950]

Great video! Is it better to tie the harness to a barrel swivel and then to the bouncer to eliminate line twist?

[@redge3726]

Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it!!

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

I’m glad you did sir!

[@AJOutdoors1]

That is a pretty cool rig. That knot is a form of a Snell knot I use those a lot on circle hooks. Have you run this rig along side a normal crawler harness? I would be interested to see how they compare.

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Yes John, that is a snell knot. I have run them side by side and at times it catches more, other times not.....but it's a good option to tie one on and let the fish tell you what they want to eat. Thanks buddy, we will use them when you get up here.

[@KohlOutdoors]

Great video. I will have to try out this rig next time I'm out on tawas bay

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Absolutely, let us know how it works for you Derek.

[@blackhogdown295]

Love the FunksG sign!!!

[@davidsummerville398]

Those hooks have barbs to keep the bait in place located near the eye of the hook. They seen to cut my 10lb. Monofilament with ease. I really struggle with this problem

[@tomcorcoran9328]

You are 💯 right! Wrong knot on those hooks! Use a fisherman's knot. Will not get cut!

[@shark9631]

good video but why do you use floro? i tend to use mono since floro sinks and i get less snags

[@musclecarappraisal]

Hello my Friend Great video!

[@lancerudy9934]

Great video thanks 😊

[@jamesyoung4633]

Thanks l will give it a try.

[@jakedavid8187]

Do you ever use a blade and beads with the slow death? Or always just worm only

[@randymiller5008]

In most situations. The less Hardware the Better 🤙🎣

[@fishgrubblades9835]

I'm not happy about no spinner blade😂. Just kidding of course. Thanks for the video 👍

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@zachzeilinger4019]

Do you run the Slow Death the same as regular harnesses, same speed and all. You mentioned cranks, so I assume your going .8 - 1.5, especially this time of year.

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Yes, everything is the same. We were pulling cranks out both sides of the boat on boards, and 2 bottom bouncers off each corner of the boat with one bottom bouncer on a stern planer 300 feet straight out the back at the same time, all (3) bottom bouncers had slow death rigs on them.

[@badgerfarmgirl336]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kenwindsoron1399]

Hmmmm no beads no blades I’m going to try that ty 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@randymiller5008]

In most situations... The less Hardware. The Better 🤙🎣

[@chinhoification]

How about line twist? Any problems?

[@Hawaiibohntr]

The swivel on the bottom bouncer eliminates the line twist

[@fishgrubblades1779]

Nice

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Thank You

[@robertmayo5830]

😂

[@garymeldrum949]

Dude you can’t really think that’s the way a bottom bouncer rides on the bottom….do you?

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

Dude, you got any video to show me differently? Do you?

[@garymeldrum949]

@@haulinashoutdoors2675 let me apologize for the unintended tone of my post. I didn’t mean to come across that way at all. I do so enjoy you videos and have learned alot from them. It really doesn’t matter how a bottom bouncer rides the bottom as we all know it works. Keep em coming and I’ll be watching

[@haulinashoutdoors2675]

@@garymeldrum949 thank you Gary, please accept my apologies as well sir.

[@garymeldrum949]

@@haulinashoutdoors2675 and by the way, we just spent four days hammering them on bottom bouncers in the St. Clair River in Algonac Michigan using your advice. Thank you sir

[@Hawaiibohntr]

@@garymeldrum949 Short answer is yes and no. The heavier the bottom bouncer lead the flatter it will lay at slower trolling speeds, when the water depth changes so does the angle of the main line causing the bottom bouncer to stand up more, so as mentioned the speed your trolling affects the way the bottom bouncer ride on the bottom. I tick the bottom with the bottom wire, I pour my own bottom bouncers I cut my wire at 12-14 inches to the bottom of the lead pending the lake bottom and six inch arm to the swivel, every 10 feet of water at .05 to .75 mph will cause the bottom bouncer to ride higher, so at 20 feet depth and so on I use a 2 oz bouncer or low to a slower trolling speed. It's a simply complicated fun way to fish. Tight lines.
