Hair rig.

#1 Post by dunner »

Has anyone ever tried a hair rig for bass/cod,
with a small hook with mack for bait to catch pin whiting, and then leave the fish on to attract a bigger one? (linked to a larger hook 3/0,4/0.......)

My p.b. bass was taken on a whole joey with a 4/0 through the lip/head.
I think a live bait could work better.........dont know.............
