The Head Start Ballyhoo System is a quick-rigging system for ballyhoo, squid and other bait fish. It gives dead bait a very natural swimming action which attracts game fish strikes at a variety of trolling speeds. The system was designed for ballyhoo, but all over the world fisherman are rigging it with a variety of baits in both salt and fresh water.
Molded of polycarbonate, it has been awarded a U.S. patent for its unique through-the-eye locking system. This creative system ensures that the bait does not spin, which prevents line twists and tangles. Both the diver and surface runner give any bait an exciting action, resulting in more strikes and with the hook located in the tail of the bait fish, more hook-ups.
The two options rig virtually the same but the diver has a lip and sinker on the front. Using frozen or fresh ballyhoo, start by snapping off the beak. Insert the chain and hook using a rigging needle through the anal opening and out of the mouth.
Then open the head and insert the bait into the head of the lure. After breaking the backbone of the ballyhoo/pilchard, start trolling. They have great action on the surface and deep diving. As for the divers, the slower you go the deeper they go. At 8-9 knots they will dive 3-5 feet. They can be used on a downrigger or even a planer to get them deeper.
Features
- A two-piece unit with one piece - the head- having a flexible side & the other side having a pin which goes through the eye of the bait.
- Quick rig system - baits last longer.
- Supplied with a beaded chain & a 7/0 hook however mono, fluorocarbon or wire & hook of your choice may be substituted with use of a crimp to act as a stopper.
- Designed for garfish (ballyhoo) but is used successfully for other dead baits, plus bait strips & squid.
- Life like action - bait won't spin.
_ Allows adjustable hook location - recommended locating the hook far in the back for more successful hook ups.
- Molded from polycarbonate & available in several colours. Durable, compact & versatile.
- Rigging instructions included.
