Does anyone use live leeches for Largemouth? I caught one the other day bobber fishing with a leech. Does anyone know of anyway to rig them for cast and retrieve?

Last year at Fletchers floodwaters I used leeches with great success hooked just behind the sucker on a 1/8 oz. jig, casting and drifting under a slip bobber just ticking the weed tops...


Say ya to da U.P., eh?

Leeches are great bait during the summer. Try using a floating jighead w/ a leech and troll along the weed edges/dropoffs. You will be catching everything from bass to gills to walleyes. Good luck.

Leeches catch everything. I like to anchor off a weedline, put on one small split, throw out the leech, and let it just free-fall down, it's killer.

Leeches under a bobber hooked once right through the sucker...They are deadly...No fish can resist that action...
