Minnows - FishingPal - 06-29-2011
Hey, I want to get into using bait minnows for fishing. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to rig up and fish a minnow for bait on rivers or lakes?
Thanks!

rig your line through the minnows mouth and out its rectum tie on a treble hook weight accordingly. or use a circle hook and slide it right in the middle and through the back of the minnow also right through the head will work also. but i ussually thread through the mouth and out the rectum.

Hey Thanks for your help! What is the best way to thread your line through the minnow if I may ask? Do you just use a sewing needle?
Thanks!

You could use a needle for that. If you're using a single, straight shanked hook, you can just use the hook itself to thread through the minnow. (same technique as rigging a plastic worm)
Probably can't do that with a treble hook though. I'd imagine that would be pretty Awkward for you..and fish. lol
