I have recently become interested in the idea of using dough baits in saltwater. I did not know the best way to rig the bait so I made a bait rig with two dough hooks and a snap swivel for to attach a weight at the bottom. Is this a good way to do it?
I personally have never heard of using dough bait in saltwater. Good luck.
Hey there BFFG. Fishfather is right again. Those dough baits would desintergrate way to fast in the salt and just fall off of the line. I have found out from expereince that dough baits work best in a still lake or very slow flowing stream. You may be better to stay with the macks’ , chovies, squids, clams, and mussels. Most of your salties are not good bread eaters. They prefer their meat. Good Luck.
thanks for the advice, I’ll just keep a loaf of bread nearby for when I get bored or the fish are not biting.
