Pete

He basically had on a 190gr Craft Bait BM Popper rigged with Baker on belly and Decoy trebles on rear. The daisy chain or bite leader is a crimped double-up 250lb, if I remembered well. After losing one expensive popper, we were conviced that doubling up on the bite was the way to go. Hope that helps , Pete....Cheers! :)
