You use a rubber band with a bicycle tub when doing hand lines. The rubber ban breaks when stretched then the bike tube gets pulled which sets the hook even more. We did it all the time in the marshals islands.
We typically run stern and outrigger (8ft wood poles) meatlines along with 15ft outriggers with regular rods/reels. Any craft store carries jingle bells and we have 2 on each meatline. They rust out so change them each season. GL
Thanks for suggestion. I was thinking about trying the bell thing but wasn't sure if they would ring just from the boat moving. I'll try it out. Thanks for watching. Tight lines!
It's a good idea. I'll give it a shot on the next trip. We just got back from a tuna run and I tried hanging bells on the line, that didn't work :) Thanks for watching. Tight lines!
Great video Dan! Weather looked amazing out there! Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks 👍

Thanks for tip. We started using downrigger release clips and that seemed to work well. Thanks for watching

What about a rubber band for your bungee that breaks and indicates a bite/fish on?

That port corner remains the hot rod...What's your trolling speed? My spread is closer- I'm trying to get them into live bait range,
Between 6 1/2 and 9 MPH. The hot rod lately has actually been the shotgun rod at 150' out. Thanks for watching.
