Questions

[jooleyen]

I've gathered these questions and many more in the past few days.

What is a deadfall?
Is there a difference between striper and striped bass?
Can someone give me tips on night bass fishing?

what is a trailer?


I heard that when I get backlash, instead of pulling line out, just apply a lot of pressure to the spool and slowly reel. I tried it and it worked. Any of you ever heard of this?

I don't have any sinkers right now. What are some daily objects I could practice casting with?


Thanks

Julien

Practice flipping and pitching and I would use a bucket to get started out.

A trailer, as opposed to a trailer hook, is a piece of soft plastic added to a lure such as a skirted jig, spinnerbait or buzzbait. People believe they have value for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons might be added bulk, slows the fall, enhances appearance and enhances action.

This is a Booyah Boogee Bait, one of the Chatterbait knockoffs. The thing you see extending out at the back of the lure is a split tail plastic trailer. It's supplied with the lure and it's the angler's choice whether or not to thread it onto the hook shank and use it.
