Tip: Remove the treble hook and replace it with a single hook (Either 3/0 or 4/0). Adding a white Berkley Power Bait split-tail trailer has proven to increase success by adding action and scent while enhancing the lure’s profile. (White Mister Twister is also good.)

Tip: When fishing for Lakers, use split shot to get the desired trolling depth. At normal trolling speed a size 0 split shot will provide 6 ft. of depth and a size 1 split shot will provide 5 ft. of depth. Simply add or subtract split shot to adjust the lure depth. This will allow for easier rigging & more flexibility in comparison to using standard in-line sinkers.
