How do you use power eggs ... and which ones? I like

[billy b]

to use a owner #8 or 10 behind a sliding sinker or bubble ... putting on 2 pe's ... but I'm a little new to this. I also have picked up a nice suggestion of threading one on a #8 bait hook before putting on a piece of inflated NC. Recently I was at a nearby lake and the regular yellow and the new salmon egg red was getting some action ... orange and the garlic weren't.

Anybody want to share?

What about using a 14 or 16 treble and loading up 3 ... or even 4?

THANKS

THANKSRed is killer. I wouldn't load a bunch on a treble, though. (I hate using trebles, anyway)

I might try a power egg with a live earwig!

You're right about the treble ... it isn't good for C & R

What's an "earwig"

Those little bugs with the pincers on their rear

i've always used them with an inflated nightcrawler. works well.

Use size six single hook for worms or plastics as long as you put the egg on first then the worm or plastic worm.
I don't use the power eggs with treble hooks but I have seen my friends use two only on a treble hook leaving one hook exposed to help hook the fish

I like the power eggs that are connected together in a strand. You always can't find them . I think Bass Pro shop had them and . Anyway , I have found they work better and don't dry out and harden up on you at the end of the season. I have seen them in white, yellow , green , red , bubble gum , orange colors

i like to take the power eggs and put them back on the shelf, get some mini jigs and power worms and learn to use them lol. i fished bait and wait a looonngg time and got into plastics only a few years ago and never looked back. You get bigger and more fish using plastics, i have yet to see anyone fishing bait that has caught 5 fish over 10lbs in a day. ;)

Plus swimbaits and lures are cheaper than buying live bait in the long run!

I got an 8.0 & a 10.8 at Sarl last winter bait & wait w/ a N/C and a power egg set up . So there you go . It can happen . I also dead stick the plastic worms and do good also

[vanillagurilla]

I got 5 over 10lbs at only a few years ago on a pink worm lol, muddy water and I wouldn't imagine that a clear pink worm with sparkles would have worked well. Facts are that trout are a predatory fish and you can catch bigger fish that aren't hungry with a moving bait. TM u have to agree that more and bigger stringers are brought in off the troll.

You leave them connected. That may be a valuable hint. I always separate them when I put one on above a NC ... and would do the same if stringing 2 on a worm hook.

I hear ya ... and thanks for the advice. I wouldn't want to tell you how many plastic worms, jigs, and lead heads I have ... but especially need to learn how to fish them from shore. Like with a bubble ... or what? I'm worried about snagging bottom. I have used them with some decent success from a boat.

Thots?

[vanillagurilla]

if your not snagging the bottom your not in the right area, with worms i do 2 things, #1 is dropshot, #2 is carolina rig or splitshot but ive had problems with splitshots and big fish so i use 1/32nd oz bullet weights and either a carolina keeper or spro swivel. with mini jigs i usualy start ON the bottom if possible, bouncing it along, sometimes they like it just dragged or a streight wind just off the bottom. ill try that for a few casts while counting how long it takes to reach the bottom. lets say it takes 15 seconds, my next step is to take 2-3 seconds off that time and start a few feet off the bottom trying to keep it in that water column, and i do that untill i find the fish, very rarely do i catch them right off the top. I go through so much gear during trout season that my boxes turn into a big mess and i usualy just throw it all away and start over. I used to use power worms and nymphs and would have 15-20 bags of different colors on a key chain clipped to my belt loop or keys on my belt for quick changing without having to dig into a tackle box. my jigs i keep in a 2 sided plano box, one side with just tubes and the other side with leadheads, hooks, swivels and whatever else. Both stay with me at all times lol.
