Using power bait, floating type W/ split shot above to keep it off the bottom. Fishing SJ ponds for stocked put & take Trout...What size hook do you guys use, Last year I think my hooks were a bit to small with the round size bait, I think the fish would hit and maybe I was to quick to set the hook and the bait just rolled out or pulled out of the fishes mouth...In streams using smaller hooks I have no problem catching fish. :huh:
I second this, but put a 1-2 foot leader to a small barrell swivel. Above the swivel on the main line put an egg sinker so that it slides like a fish finder rig. Works great but keep an eye on your rod so that you can react quick and not gut hook.
my opinion on color is the regular yellow but with the sprarkle in it has also produced.yellow powerbait is my all time go to bait even when things get tough.even if you decide to kick back and soak it abit watch that rod tip.
#8 baitholder is my general purpose bait hook and it works for tiny trout all the way up to big 10+ pound carp and catfish.
