If you are using attractors on the ball you don't necessarily want to run a lure way back yonder. There are days when attractors near the ball works and works well, there are days when way back works.

Experimenting and experience will tell you.

Jay - I'm short on the experience so I need to start experimenting!! I have a little success with something and I don't want to change...even when its not working. I've got to open up new doors...

The best time to experiment is when what you normally do IS working. It adds to your bag of tricks quickly.

Good idea

What is rule of 100 ?

If your rigger ball is down 30 put your lure back 70... If your rigger is down 50 put your lure back 50. Good rule of thumb for how far behind the ball to run. Obviously, its just an idea to start with and work from there. It does seem to work, though.

Sounds good to me...

Slip, never heard of that and I thank you for sharing! I will be trying it soon. Thanks again Doc

Sorry, missed your question.

Slipknot is 100% correct. Its a starting point.
