| I have never tried these before how do you rig them?
What # line do you run these off of?
Any help would be great. |

| Perhaps one of the Erie guys will contribute here. I know the charters use them alot out there. |

Location: LaCrosse, WI | I used these on Erie and I even run the smaller ones here in WI. I ran them on 10lb XT, that was for the 20's - 40's. You actually hook them up with the nose pointing backwards. It seems really odd, but that's how they work.
We also use these on lake Michigan for salmon. When we were on Erie for a tourney a couple years ago, we ran jet 40's (40 ft max depths) in front of spoons, cranks and harnesses. I actually liked them much better than dipseys. If you want to run smaller jets, you can pull them on boards. The 40's pulled ok, but they made the board sag a little more than I like.
I run 20 jets on the Mississippi with some success. I like them because I don't tend to snag as much as I do with heavy sinkers. |

Location: WI | On Bago I use a #10 jet. I use the 14/6 fireline to the jet. Then run a 6 foot mono leader after. I put a michigan stinger, crawler harness or a stick bait behind that. The jet really gives the bait a funky action when it slows and speeds up. On Bago, not many people talk about this set-up. It is either a secret or has not caught on yet. If its a secret, don't tell anyone. I drag 2 every time I pull.
I have a depth chart I can post, if wanted.

| Are these pulled behind boards or straight down? |

| Don't know for sure, I would guess it is the amount of line actually in the water. |

Location: LaCrosse, WI | Those would be the amount of line from the surface of the water. You would either pull them behind a board, or let out that amount of line and then add the distance from the rod tip to the water. |

| The 20s and 30s pull fine behind a board. Actually, I do not feel they offer any more resistance than a reef runner.
Take care,

| I'm a charter on Lake Erie. I always run 40 jets off large planer boards. I run 5 off each side of the boat. I run different colors for each side. Line counter reels with 30# power pro and a 5 ft 20# mono lead to a stinger spoon or worm harnesses. We use rubber band releases which help customers tell if a fish is on. Walleyes will usually release rubberband sometimes you have to pull it off. It is important to keep line tight but let fish go to the back of the boat before you reel it in. Walleyes change the angle of the jet and come up to the surface. Small fish like perch, white perch and white bass usually don't have the weight to bring a jet to the surface just let them float to directly behind the boat or they will tangle lines inside of the line the fish is on because the jet keeps diving. Try different depths to determine where walleye are feeding. We have had times when we will have ten fish at one time. Any questions just ask. |
