Rigging
Rigging
Our favorite setup for the 10mm Sea Mine is an Owner Cover Shot Hook paired with a nail weight inserted into the body, while the larger 20mm Sea Mine pairs perfectly with an Owner Cover Shot HD Hook and a nail weight. This combination creates a natural fall while allowing the tentacles to pulse and move with the slightest water movement, making it deadly around fish relating to cover, structure, and forward-facing sonar targets.
Additional Rigging Options:
Detonator Rig - AKA Dual Frog Hook
Treble Hook Rig
Core Tackle Dice Rig
Covert Rig
Wrecking Ball Head
Dropshot
Ned Rig
Texas Rig
Jika Rig
Free Rig
Split Shot Rig
Top Water Weightless
Retrieve
Retrieve
The most effective retrieve we've found for The Sea Mine is a simple pop, pop, fall cadence. After casting, allow The Sea Mine to sink on a semi-slack line, then use one or two quick pops of the rod tip to make the bait dart, pulse, and move through the water. After each set of pops, allow the bait to fall naturally back toward the bottom.
Most strikes occur during the fall. As The Sea Mine settles, its tentacles continue to pulse and quiver with the slightest movement, creating an easy meal that bass often can't resist. Watch your line closely and be ready to set the hook at any time during the descent.
Experiment with different fall rates by adjusting your nail weight size until you find the speed the fish prefer. In clear water and around suspended fish, slower falls often produce the most bites, while heavier nail weights can help trigger reaction strikes from deeper fish.
Rod/Reel/Line
Rod/Reel/Line
For the 20mm Sea Mine, we prefer a medium-heavy casting rod paired with a 7.5:1 gear ratio baitcasting reel and 15 lb fluorocarbon line. This setup provides excellent casting distance, sensitivity, and the power needed to drive the hook home when fishing around cover or targeting larger bass.
For the 10mm Sea Mine, we prefer either a spinning setup or BFS setup paired with 8-10 lb line. A medium-power rod with a fast tip helps maximize casting distance while providing the sensitivity needed to detect bites that often occur during the fall.
