SLIDING' WALKER'S
You
cant fish bottom structure without one. Originally designed for jetty
fishing along the rip rap. It slides on the line, and gives direct contact
with the bait or lure and the bottom. It walks up over everything on the
bottom. In heavy rocky structure always fish it down stream and walk it into
the current. It is almost impossible to lose it. If your fishing live bait
you need this walking sinker in your box and on your line. The direct
contact will tell you what is on the bottom, how it is laid out and comes
back to you each time. If you do not know what is on the bottom, walk thru
it first with a Sliding Walker and find out before you throw your lures.
How it looks when rigged for live Bait
Of course you can use any hook style
you prefer. We always use trebles for our flounder and trout, for reds we
use circle hooks anytime we are able to. You make your leaders to your
desired length. We are tieing on anywhere between 12 -18-24 inch leaders for
everything from flounder to reds. Tip: use a heavier line on your reel and a
lighter line on your leaders. This way you break only the hook off and get
your walker back if you do hang it up.
