Dolphin - Offshore Trolling Lures and Teasers From Eye Catcher Lures

One Complete Set of (3) Weed Runners Pre-Rigged - $39.95

Dolphin Rigs that were species specific were not easy since just about every rig I have fished has caught dolphin! Lures like my Agitator rigged over a horse ballyhoo have caught many money winning dolphin and wahoo in various tournaments. Truth is that if you fish bright colors and you come across dolphin, you will probably also get your shots.

So what could I possibly offer to catch more dolphin? I started infiltrating some very fish savvy brains to find out. For years our local charter captains have had a secret strategy and their own private code to really stack the odds in their favor. They call it "fishing the nylons". The odd thing is that it isn't really the "nylons" that are the secret at all. The real secret is that in certain situations you need to change to what their "nylons" method. How many times have you been offshore and the scattered weeds were nearly everywhere you looked? You couldn't believe that you weren't catching fish. You reasoned that since the weeds are everywhere, there should be fish everywhere, right? Not really, but "fishing the nylons" method definately will help you conquer that situation!

dolphin The first thing that you should be aware of is that just because there is grass everywhere does not mean there are going to be fish around. In fact, if you look closely at the water you may even notice that the grass you are fishing in may be totally devoid of nearly any marine life at all. Then as you move around you come to a certain area and see a handfull of flying fish scattering, then more and more marine life is visible all around you. This is it, now you are in the water you have been looking for.

How do you find that water? You fish the nylons method! This type of lure is made to run as a stand alone and without a ballyhoo. It is made to run faster than your standard ballyhoo spread so that you can really cover some water. The lure can swim, dart or even skip accross the surface like a flying fish.

If the conditions are right, most captains will quickly yank their standard spread and just fish either two or four of these rigs while they quickly motor from area to area to locate the "live" water. Usually these rigs are run on flat lines but not always. It must be designed to shed weeds and if it picks up one a quick yank clears it. When you finally locate a defined weedline, you can continue to use the "nylons method" to get next to and even right into the weeds in order to quickly draw fish without weeding up your lines.

The simplicity of the rig is the key. It needs to be quick and easy to deploy and most importantly it needs to be nearly weedless. This rig needs to be small, light in weight and be rigged with small sharp hooks and very abrasion resistant light leader. It needs to be designed to pull right next to or even go right through the weeds without fouling.

Purchase a handfull of these dolphin specific rigs called "Weed Runners" and just watch your catch ratios on every species skyrocket! They really work!!
