Laker rig???

[Don]

Two months ago I was at a fishing swap meet and I bought what I thought was large spinners on wire w no hooks yet. Then I took it out of the bag and realized it to be a laker or salmon rig. Have any of you ever used these?

 

[Don]

I guess my question is what do I do…attache a treble on the end or a Kietech
minnow or what? I see there is a leftover piece of mono on the end…

I would think you could put anything you want on it.

Its a Christmas Tree, or some call it a cowbell. Trolling item. Run a leader as long as you want. Attach a bait or lure of your choice. Never a big troller but my father and I got a decent amount of trout with that.

It meant to imitate a school of bait fish kinda like a flasher polish the blades up and drag it around.I couldn’t remember the name at first but I always new them as cowbells like bassman said

Get creative with it. Some just half, some not at all, and some all the way.

I’ve seen cow bells with both gold and silver blades before but I’ve never used them but they’re on my list but everything’s on my list
