I didn't put on the retrieval line the first time which was a mistake. I gave away my two drouges which i thought were good for soft baiting. |

Tie 2 knots in the mainline just short of the maximum stretch of the bungy and insert the hooks into the knots so just before the bungy breaks the line comes tight. |
