How to Rig the Flat-Line Mackerel

[@dandsgillman5881]

Hey Brad, Dennis here. Remember when my wife Sue worked for your dad in Ft. Myers? I enjoy your vids as it brings back many memories of what I did as a young man. Great to see you after all these years. You've grown up very nicely.

[@danielschlear4581]

Awesome explanation and how to video. I’m going to try.

What is the size of the circle hook and what pound line do you use with it?

[@virus0194]

Is that circled hook? Is it a must to use circled hook?

THANKS GARY

Are these only good for marlin or would big snapper/grouper eat this if you pitch it around a rig or wreck. I assume a grouper would eat this as they normally can't catch a mackerel might be a good grouper snack. Or would a big king mackerel or a wahoo eat this?

May I ask why you pull the circle hook through the meat? It's been my experience that the circle hook be tied to the bait to allow full exercise of the bait. Be it a bonita or mackerel. Especially with circle hooks. I'm simply challenging your technique. The bait is allowed to swim more freely if not attached to the circle hook. The marlin will have no problem biting the hook if it's tied to the head of the bait. But awesome tutorial. I wish you were around and you could have saved me a longer learning curve.

Is that a 2 Oz egg sinker you are using? Thank you.

Exlnt how to video . What speed do you pull them at and typically how long do they last b4 they wash out. Looks like a good rigged bait for our New Zealand stripe marlin

I pull my macs that are similarly rigged at 7 to 9kts and they last all day. If you take care of them you can fish them for a second day or until they get hammered by a Marlin or Big Hoo

[@patrickpizano5276]

Cool 😎

[@Mr.JonaVelazquez]

Very sleek

[@seang1032]

I never thought about it but I have a couple de boner tools. The ones for the boat and a few exes and hog heaven hookups

[@nadeemuddin9070]

[@victorduran6320]

He did it slow I’m sure he can do like 3 of these in 5 minutes

[@joshuaflores1990]

Thats called a fantasy bait. Only in your wildest dream will you catch some gigantic snapper on a rig like that. But hey if your gonna dream....dream big! Good luck

[@antoninoalesi5345]

Ma la pescate con il salmone di piccola taglia

[@beanieweenie9543]

How fast and how far back are you trolling this bait?
