[Penobscot]

How do I rig a banana weight, Ford Fender, Wedding ring?

How is the connection, leader length etc..?
I'm leaving in the AM and want to fish deep for some native fish at Mt. Adams..
Thanks in advance for a response.

Tie the weight directly to you main line. Short leader between weight and flashers 12 to 18. Then you can try different lenghts back from flashers to your bait offering. Start with 18 and work longer from there.

Just my :twocents:

I use a snap swivel on the end of the main line, and then hook the banana weight to that and from the banana weight I attach the blades (what ever kind you prefer) and from the blades I use a 18" mono leader to the wedding ring or other termanial tackle. Hope this helps, fish on and good luck.

Be safe and tight lines to you and yours. :smash:

Maybe to late, but if your blades have a rudder on them I like to use a duo-lock swivel and canonball weight on the rudder itself. Usally 3 or 4 ounces.

Mainline - snapswivel - blades - 24- 30" leader - Fish!

Thanks again all.
I ended up catching about10 on the Fender rig. They were a bit bigger than those my buddies were catching on power bait. Managed to catch my first couple of fish on the fly rod, but these were very small(4-6 inches).
