Set your favorite spoon, spinner or shallow
diving crankbait 50-feet behind the boat. Pinch an
OR16 Snap Weight Clip onto the line and let out an
additional 50-feet of monofilament. This lure and snap
weight combination can be fished as a flat line or
rigged on an Off Shore Tackle Side Planer or Riviera
catamaran style dual (DPB) or triple
(TPB) planer board.
When using the 50/50 rigging
method, it’s best to start fishing
with several different weights
until the fish communicate
which weight and depth
range are most productive.
Begin fishing each day with a lure spread that incorporates a
variety of snap weight sizes. Staggering lures at different
depths is the fastest way to pattern suspended fish.
Once a pattern has been determined, switch all lines
over to duplicate the productive weight and distance
combination.
THE 50/50 METHOD
Walleye, steelhead, trout
or salmon suspended
within 20’ of the surface
are prime targets for the
50/50 rigging method.
