Uh, use DEAD, DRY sticks to anchor to. Don't anchor to the BAIT stick. You'll thank me later. Charlie

EVERYONE knows not to use GREEN poles or sticks for that, or dive sticks or any of that business. Uh, use DEAD, DRY sticks to anchor to. Don't anchor to the BAIT stick. You'll thank me later. Charlie Thanks for input, guys. I turn to you fellas for solace and you mock me as well. I've got bait wired to dead poles they've managed to ignore for three or four weeks. MB 750s, 330s, a #14 Jump, snares and more snares.

You can get away with this idea but have to use a decent diameter bait stick and run a cable down through the inside of the snares anchored in some fashion to a base and above the ice so that even if they chew through you'll still be able to retrieve all your rigging and any snared beaver.
Use a solid dry pole and attach 18" pieces of desirable bait sticks around the circumference high and low on your bait pole so that you can concentrate your snares at specific locations and increase your catch ratio. Deadly set.

Deadly set. Thanks. I've secured the snares to a wire that runs up the poles and are wired off topside. I tried wiring bait to dead poles but they ignore it. My last attempt was a fresh, three inch diameter bait stick I ran from bottom to top. I had just two snares on it three or four inches below the ice. I could see the snares were knocked down after opening the hole. Not mocking,,just teasing a bit.How much ice?Are you near a feed pile under the ice? I knew you were just hacking on me. Maybe a foot of ice and I'm between the lodge and the feed pile. I don't think it's ten yards between the two. Two feet of water, maybe.

Just pulling your chain a little, Buddy. Ho harm intended. Seeing the green stick with the snare wired to it, I just couldn't help myself. Charlie
