Rigging a Garfish as a swimming bait
Garfish trolled at or near the surface are called skip baits. Those under the surface, swim bait. To produce this swimming bait, you will need suitable leader material, a bean sinker, a length of light galvanized wire and maybe an awl, although not essential. The Garfish swim bait rig outlined above is actually prepared with a stinger. You’ll note we have demonstrated a short length of wire trace that fits snuggly inside the bait (forming the stinger). The same rig can be prepared as in the skip garfish rig if so desired (as demonstrated on this site). The method outlined above is a favorite amongst game fishermen. The rig will give you long hours of trolling without the break down of the garfish.
