Attaching Balloon to Line When Trolling

[PRO V LE]

Baloons are kind of old school now days but still work. If you are around lake Cumberland almost all tackle stores will have the "EZ Floats" they come in two sizes, they have a spring loaded rubber release on one end and a snap on the other that allows it to slide on the line when a fish pulls the release free. Not much money either.

Balloons are one of my favorites in the Spring and early Summer. I don't run more than 15 20ft of line behind the balloon. Its a blast when they rip that line and pop that ballon on a light weight rod.
Rebaiting- you can pull line in by hand and rebait and set the same rig back out.
The above procedure for tying the balloon on what right on.
