    I use a piece of plastic grub (or tube) about the size of a nibble with the minnow. (OLD SCHOOL) I put it on the hook after I hook the minnow thru the back of eyes. This keeps the minnow on, especially if you KY rigging or casting out. You can do the same with nibbles, but they are messy and I usually get the nibble slime on my pants zipper or up my nose. No nibbles. Minnow can live a long time hooked thru the back of the eyes. I usually catch several fish off one minnow. That is if I am paying attention instead of BSn.

    My wife loves watching a bobber almost as much as she enjoys pulling cranks. I hook the minnows thru the eye socket when vertical jigging or using a slip cork. If I go to drop-shotting with minnows, I hook from the throat latch up thru the top of the head near the nostrils, same as if I use them on a jig.

    Hey Tom, you need to get Miss Brenda to take some video of a time you aren't BS'n. I don't think I've ever seen that.
