That’s awesome. Wonder if you could use a roach as bait. I mean it almost fooled you

I never caught anything or had any offers all night total blank.1st sea trout night of the season.
View attachment 5147415
I'm just about to set up and wait for darkness I'm exited af
I've about a mile of riverbank to walk to the beat on the way I seen maybe a half dozen sea trout jumping some fkg crackers I was sure fish would be caught regardless of the conditions.
It was blowing a bit of a hoolie but I expected it would calm down which it did but was still blustery then the temperature dropped to 6c the moon was lighting up the pool
I knew by then it wasn't going to be a great night...
but there was fish to catch so I persevered until daylight but absolutely zero not even a knock to give me some hope through the night.
4 rods in total fishing 0 fish landed but I still enjoyed the night out on the river.

Does anyone re arrange the treble set up on bib/rapala type lures?
I found for the number of fish hooked with rapalas on the river and the amount landed is too far apart I loose circa 40% of salmon hooked with rapalas compared to circa 10% with fly Cs... But rapalas ime create the most takes.
After a bit of googling for the best of both worlds I read the std hook set up creates leverage if the lure is twisted/spun around (makes sense) and recommended this set up.
The trout stuck but I've not had a chance to test it on salmon yet.
I tie the hook up with fine nylon and a slip knot (grinner) when a fish takes the hook the nylon comes away so the fish can cartwheel without the threat of levering the hook out.
What's your thoughts?

I have bought and rigged many treble baits with swivel hooks on them. I prefer it. When the hook just spins the fish can't use the leverage of it not spinning to tear the hook out.
It definitely increases land ratio.
A medium powered moderate action rod helps a ton as well with treble baits. The parabolic bend in a med action helps keep the fish pinned as well due to the rod being able to absorb the pull of the fish.
These things absolutely matter.

That's good to hear it works in practice not just in theory, I think all these little things matter I'm always looking for any edge I can find.

It’s a cracker I seriously need something like that it's been ages since I had a good scrap, we keep getting enough to rain to spoil the weather but not raise the river I feel like bairn waiting for Christmas lol.
