Clip for a trot line

Yeah, trotline clip. 16" of 100lb braid on the clip and a 4/0 O Shaughnessy hook on the other. I could (and have) recognize them in the dark. I was the old mans slave growing up, running trotlines. I got the deep end of the seine when we were seining bait too, even though I was shorter. This day and time it would be called child abuse. Can't stand trotlines to this day. I'd bait and take off fish. Ol' man would run the motor and smoke cigarettes. By my early teen years I was a master at baiting.

I sure wish my dad had taught me all that. He taught me some about fishing, but not the important stuff your daddy taught you.

I think most boys are master baiters by their early teens. smile

Trot lines are good if you want, or need a lot of meat Myself, I dont' see much sport in it. I do still like to rod and reel for cats though.

I Use them on crab pots to sink line, and down riggers.

Waggler and T4E already know…

Growing up these were always in front of me, it seemed.
