Aconway94 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 So I bought a Savage gear line thru sunfish/blue gill bait and I can't seem to feed the line back through the bait after the first time using it. I did it the first time having the bait and fished it, without any fish. I then tied on another bait and when I tried to tie the bait on again the line wouldn't go through. When I got home I tried to feed a wire through the bait to clear any issue in the tube. The wire would go through the top hole but not the bottom which was the one that was obstructed. I do have a bottle of mend it so I can cut the bait open if I have to but I would rather not do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsbadbassin89 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Not sure what they look like inside but could be a broken harness from just casting it? You feel the line is hitting something and won’t let it pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aconway94 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yeah it just the line hitting something. But I just did two or three test casts then switched because it wasn't the right bait for the conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timcauliffe Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Contact Savage Gear. I'm sure they will help you out. Some of the dudes are also on Swimbait Universe on Facebook. Try there, too! cascadekiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Put a bend in the wire to force it down the bottom channel. Also try feeding the wire both down through the nose and up through the belly. Sometimes old fishing line or debris can clog it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
