Run ours of cleat on duckboard , if I run it far enough back don't even need a weight as the head is weighted . If you are running rubber fish/squids etc I would be useing light line to rig them as they have the most chance of getting wrapped up in a fish and destroying your dredge if the line doesn't snap -seen it happen. Mylar has less drag and it's almost impossible for a marlin to get its beak wrapped in . But I don't think any style either Mylar or lures makes any difference to there fish raiseing ability and that conclusion comes after 2 years of pretty solid r&d by me and arguably n.z's 2 top charter boats. I'm allways watching the corner lure behind the dredge now expecting to see a fish eat it. Some great looking homemade dredges on here I'm sure they will improve your strike rate as they have for us . Mate useing one of mine is currently leading the striped marlin t&r and so far top boat for Waihau in nats .coincidence? |
