How To Hook Live Bait with Stinger Rig

In this episode, we show you how to rig large live baits for trolling offshore waters. Large baits such as mullet will require to a "stinger" hook which is a secondary hook down the bait. This will improve your hook up ratio by taking advantage of short strikes. Join Captain Mike and Captain Cristobal as they work the offshore waters of SE Florida in search of big fish.

Big respect taking care of the reef shark. The hook tool is pretty slick. Back in the day I used to make a variation of it from the crotch of a small branch for removing hooks from gullet hooked catfish and other freshwater fish even though the fish were headed for the kitchen it was just a lot easier and less bloody.

I use that same style of fishing for flathead catfish, I will put a "tell" on my line up near the top, usually a leaf or blade of grass, so I can see instantly when the line starts free spooling on the bite. I don't lose to many fish that way, just click the bail over and let the rod load up on the circle hook. Rodney is a helluva fisherman.

Mullets are delicious when butterfly cut and salted down and cooked by a open fire on forked stick. If you don't believe me, try it.

I learned something today thanks love the clip idea. When you're bait gets excited whatch

[davpink]

Not including the 40lb flouro leaders, are you spoiling up the 20lb spinning setups with 100% mono?

[danielrimer]

Where do I get the clip you're using to hold your line when bail is open?

[charlesmosley]

Nice video. Those mullet look scrumptious lol. What kind of line are you using here?

[BeADad]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Awesome!

[wilk]

how deep do the baits typically get fishing them weightless?

[saulramos]

Won’t the fish just go hide? How does the rig work underwater ? How do you control the depth you fish in?

[e.c.fishing]

I want this same set up of a boat where can i purchase one ?

[gunslingergg]

Why would you use and 8500 reel and only load 20lb braid? Would 30 or 40lb be a problem? You have the drag for it, less likely to break of. Just curious.
Great video, thanks for sharing!

Hey Captain Mike, have you ever checked out the spinfishers with the live lining feature? They seem perfect for free lining big baits.

[RougeComputer]

Do you tie the stinger to leader or straight to main line?
