Tried the old cane pole with the SS. Cut SS up to a 1/4 size, 1/2 size, try to keep it near surface, let it sink, no bobber with any of these. Still no interest. RBT are there because they take the pellets instantly. I have tried different hook sizes 0f 4,6,8 but my hooks are longer shank and I thought they might be a problem. All I have shorter is a snell? type hook. I will look into hook type you mention esshup. I did notice that when I first tried a week ago it was with the typical gold color hook, and then I tried black and there was more interest. My conclusion so far is what esshup has said about the RBT being very sight particular.
Stacy- thanks for mentioning the color and trout. I did just buy the brown, so I might try some other colors if I can't get this figured out.
Hey Fish I feel your pain bud! I have been fishing for 35 years and can't get these dang fish to bite this lure! It's fustrating because the SS bait looks perfect and so many folks are having success with them. I don't have any RBT so that's not my problem. I have HSB and BG smacking the water for my AM600 and I can't get them to touch a SS to save my life? I don't know? George says he gets more bites when it's sinking slow? You would think with a bobber up 3 feet from the hook it would be fish on??? Once again this bait has proven itself to work and work quite well so I am not bagging on the bait just ticked off I can't trick my fish into hitting it!!!!

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
