Micro shot. How in the world do I ....?

Get these SOB's on my line ?

So I got my spinning rod out last night to suit up for steelies near my house. Standard issue 6 pound test and then a 3 foot section of 4x tipit I can't hold onto these things let alone find the split to get them on the tipit. I wanted to use big ( pictured ) to gradually smallest ( pictured ) to get the jigs/ sucker spawn etc down to the bottom. Using slip bobber about 2 feet above tip it extension. I dropped too many to mention. Finally gave up and opted for smallest regular split shot I had. It's too much weight I'm afraid to get any natural movement

You never heard of a treble hook and 30lb test? 

 

It works wonders......

Ah yes, the Michigan Cricket

This may explain a A LOT; I used to keep a few lead split shot in my mouth because when nymphing you're constantly adding/subtracting to keep contact with the bottom

Lead in your mouth?!? Ever accidentally swallow any?

Yup , wasn't eating the lead paint chips to make me " a bit off " . It was a couple of lead .177 pellets in my lip when we'd go rabbit hunting with the single shot pellet pistols. Just in case of a quick follow up shot or a miss.

 

Man. Burt Dam used to be a mess with those Michigan crickets. 40 pound test snarls everywhere and gutted salmon all over.

Why??

Why??

Just seems dangerous having lead in your mouth, no? I've never done it, so just curious.

It's not smart but I never swallowed any. And you need to watch Tommy Boy again.
