Rigging Baits for Bull Redfish

There’s no denying the skill, thrill, and satisfaction that comes with ­catching Redfish on lures. However, for consistently producing more and bigger ones, don’t turn your nose up at natural baits. Soaking dead baits might sound boring or basic at a glance. I understand that initial thought. Yet dead-baiting does offer challenges. Since it requires a more stationary approach, you better know where redfish are holding before setting the first ­offering. And there are specific tactics that dramatically bolster one’s success and can also help reduce mortality. I talked with five redfish pros to get their thoughts on how to get the most out of dead-baiting.
