How to Set Up a Trout Rig

With DNR Trout stocking in full swing, Sammy explained how to set up a simple rig to use for bait fishing! Power Bait trout dough on this rig is a great way to catch those stocked trout!

Probably the best video ive found on explaining and technique... i never really had anyone to teach me or take me fishing growing up.. so im learning a lot later in my adult life thanks to videos like this

[@jfahey222]

I like this. You truly dont need anyone all you need is yourself. Keep it up 😊

[@PokerrJuice]

wow, been looking on YT for a hour on a simple beginner trout setup and man u killed it thank you

[@user-gu6xs3ce3y]

[@arielwhite2367]

[@customerrelations9393]

[@clashsoldman]

[@aaronnolander9547]

Thank you!

[@raymondbalderama4120]

Great video!! Thank you

[@davemclean3899]

Thanks for your post

[@kylecorrow702]

Can you use this same setup just add a slip bobber to it?

[@LN-Lifer]

Is it okay if my leader is flourocarbon? I know that sinks more than mono. Just wondering if that would make a difference since I want my bait to float off surface. I assume a power bait or salmon eggs still wood but what if I'm using something like worm or liver?

[@professorpatrickfontes]

What lb weight is that line your using for the rig? thank you

[@anglersannapolis9847]

1/2 oz to 1 oz

[@Skunkdman]

Aren't treble hooks illegal in MD unless they are part of an artificial lure; or did the rule change this year?

[@anglersannapolis9847]

that’s just for rockfish, it’s fine for trout

[@ucuttmyballz2210]

Well damn KZbin fishing game officer... 🚫 🧢... lmaoooooo 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

[@gottgaame]

@@g00seegg37sounds ridiculous

[@glennsmith1040]

Put a rubber bumper or a bead on the main line to stop the weight from slamming into bezel. Saves the embarrassment of snapping the line after several casts or when using a heavier egg sinker.

Is there a video or something of a demonstration you can show me of a link

[@youbeezy2sleezyfresno970]

Please

[@user-mg3kd6sp7n]

I use a small split shot in stead of a swivel it works for me

[@TheCatabolicTrex]

You don't find it getting dragged by the current

[@The_Eastbound_Hyena]

When using a free weight what keeps the bait from floating straight to the top?

[@wockhardt3855]

how not finna float to the top just a couple feet depending on your leader

[@LN-Lifer]

Lol You do By tightening your line In other words you (or more specifically your reel) is holding the other end There will not be enough slack in your line for it to continue to pull through the sinker and rise to the top or too far up even

[@David_J_Lopez]

can someone tell me what’s the difference between snap swivel and a regular one?

[@viewsbydro8201]

A snap swivel you only have to tie on the main line. The snap parts opens and closes, easier and quicker to change hooks

[@David_J_Lopez]

@@viewsbydro8201 Gotcha Boss!

[@bryonboughton5609]

Do away with the swivel and just use a Carolina Keeper and a hook of your choosing tied directly to the end of your leader. Super simple and it will float bait better than with a swivel and heavy pre tied leader.

[@TheTaji11]

No float

[@wirymarrow9435]

I dont trust treble hooks I lost 3 pb’s cause of them

[@godlydog0988]

How yk there pbs when u didn’t catch them

[@gottgaame]

You always need to expose your hook with trout

[@benFromalaska907]

Never been a fan of treble hooks for trout in general

[@sabbage100]

Yeah I also lost loads of PBs I never caught…😂

[@FishingWithSerg]

U have a lot better chance of catching them off the treble hook just get a size 20 and use a small enough ball of power bait to just cover the hook just bigger than a pea and you will never Miss one they swallow it every time…
