  • Thanks for the video! I've had gar go after top water buzz baits before, and have a ton of old skirtless ones that'll make good rope lures. I've put some together, but the down side is I've got to wait till tomorrow,...

  • @djmasonfam Good Luck.. Let me know if you catch any.. Be ready with some good gloves.. They are delicious to eat too by the way.. (DO NOT EAT THEEGGS THOUGH...)

  • Does it matter what color rope you use?

  • @xxluckycharms123 I'm not really sure. I only use white and I buy it in 100' lengths. I had a friend try red and green once, but didn't have any luck. Let me know if you have any success with the other colors. Thanks for watching and posting! Doug

  • Hi rippac86, I'm not sure what it is you are asking for exactly. This video shows the lure I use to catch longnose gar. You should never really attempt to 'hook' a gar as they have boney structures that are difficult at best to actually hook. If you have made the lure correctly and you get a bite, you should have the fish. This will probably not work with an alligator gar if that's what your seeing.

    Hope that helps!

    Tight lines!

  • u hooked rope in the wrong place

  • @superd62 I'm not sure what you are talking about. This has been posted on here for months with several users making and using them. I've used these rigs for years. I think you must be mistaken. :)
