slip trailing

Slip trailing is a fishing technique where a baited hook or lure is suspended above the main fishing line using a small plastic or rubber device called a slip, allowing it to move freely. This setup lets the bait drift naturally with the current or water movement, which can attract fish more effectively. The slip can be adjusted to control how high the bait sits above the main line. This method is commonly used in targeting species that respond to natural, drifting bait, and it helps improve chances of catching fish by mimicking their natural prey movement.
