PowerBait Rigs That Convert Trout Follows into Bites

Chad works through two rigs designed to solve the same problem: trout that follow your bait but won't commit. First, a bobber rig that suspends PowerBait and lets current action do the work. Then a chrome Johnson spoon rigged as a flasher and attractor, with a molded PowerBait trailing on a fluorocarbon leader behind it. The spoon draws curious trout in. The bait closes the deal.
