I fished with a guy last summer that had a hinged rig that opened up and he packed tuna fish in it. It had an o-ring that slid over the back end that
held it closed. He ran it about 36" in front of a spoon. It caught the only fish that day.
Has anyone ever heard of this gizmo? Who sells them? What other scents does anyone use? How do you run these with dodger/flies, spoons or
anything else? Thanks for your information. Dave

we have one that you put near a downrigger ball and will disperse a scent. Its shaped like a football. Haven't ran it yet but it has small holes in the front and rear of it and spins, it takes herring oil. We always run meat rigs, so they are dispersing scent as well.

its called a brads cut plug .i ran one the last few trips last year and it caught fish every time i put tuna in it with a little herring oil mixed in. ran it clean on a copper set up .i believe the color i had was shamrock .i will definitely pick up a couple more next year would like to try it on a flasher

Sounds like the Brad's Super Cut Plug.


I have never heard of anyone running it in front of a spoon before, but I guess it works. I ran it clean and behind a flasher, and both ways caught fish (I did better without the flasher). I tried Shamrock, Watermelon and Glow Wonder Bread. All were stuffed with tuna mixed with herring oil. It worked for me on downriggers and leadcore. The factory-supplied leader length is good, just remember to use a bead-chain swivel. These things are constantly rotating and will twist up the line badly without the swivel. Good Luck!

yep
definitely brads cut plug
we try to keep lots of then in stock
for us they seem to work the best with a small piece of salted herring and oil on it
i have had guys ask me
"are your sure these are legal they seem almost unfair"
i run them behind dodgers

as well as naked long line behind cannon ball just off the bottom

some thing that is a must have if you don't already have a couple
next to the calumet city chicken rig its our # 2 producer this last year
