Re: Tope Tactics
I use a large single hook wire trace which are easily put together if you have the gear, if your not going to go out for them often, buy some ready made from a good tackle shop 
For bait i tend to use a whole mack flapper with the tail removed. If the flapper is getting a bit of interest from doggies i just use a mack with the tail off hooked through the head. Now the big question "Rubby or not to Rubby" I have used both tactics and have caught fish so I am undecided, though when i used rubby i had more dogs around. The fishing can be a bit slow sometimes its a patience game, but worth the wait when you hook 1.
