What are the best color combinations for the Gulf Stream off of the Cape Fear?
Answer posted 2 years ago | Meat-fish Pre-rigged Trolling Lures 4 Pack
Answer:
Great question! In these packs we include what we believe to be our best producing color ways regardless of location. They have been historically our best producing color ways based of 10+ years of feedback from Captains all around the globe. With that being said, we do tend to see days where certain colors are being hit over others, this can be caused by anything from cloud cover to types of bait in the area etc. If you have a variety of colors initially, as your day progresses, you can always tailor your spread to what is producing at that moment. Our spread generally evolves over the course of the day.
How deep does this typically run?
Answer posted 2 years ago | Under $100 > Cable-Rigged Fatboy Lead Medium 9" Trolling Lure
Answer:
The depth depends on how fast you are trolling the lure and the line angle (riggers or flat lines) and the amount of line out. With that being said, a standard depth is approx 6 -12" at normal speeds. However, if you are wanting to run the lure subsurface, you can add a trolling lead and shock leader setup. https://www.fathomoffshore.com/collec...

Answer:
The Fathom Offshore Jimmy Rig is intended for Ballyhoo, so its limited to the durability and longevity of the dead bait. We typically recommend trolling these in the 6-9knt range. The lure itself can be trolled faster, however the ballyhoo attached may be more inclined to wash out the faster you go.

Can you give instructions for securing a ballyhoo on this rig? I have 3 I purchased. Ballyhoo don't stay on
Answer updated 3 years ago | Torpedo Lures > Jimmy Rig - Cable Ballyhoo Rigged Torpedo
Answer:
The method of securing the ballyhoo on this rig is the same as the standard mono version shown in our tutorial. CLICK HERE to watch the video. Also, be sure that the bait isn't simply washing out and deteriorating from prolonged trolling or high speeds. If done correctly the ballyhoo will be well secured and will not come off. Feel free to call 910-399-6882 and we can discuss further.
Answer:
All of our ballyhoo rigs are pre-rigged on 100# mono. The only rig currently made with fluorocarbon is our Dink Bait Circle Hook rigs. They are rigged on 50 and 60# Diamond Fluorocarbon leader.
