Hey Salty, Are you running a single hook up through the lips on the shiners or rigging them? When I use them (on leadcore) with locally sold rigs they tend to spin, but I often lose bait and fish when using the single hook.

Just a single hook and a very light drag.

Are you still able to keep the shiners alive long? Was hoping to try on my vacation but doubt they will last long. Ever freeze them?

I buy them in the evening and put them in the fridge. Haven't used frozen ones, but have caught fish on a few dead ones.

The leftover livebait Salty filets. Nothing goes to waste in the "White House".
