Good advice. It always seems that once you unhook one treble, the other rebooks itself

With T-shark fishing from a kayak, I have never tried to use a hook-less rapala or bait-o-matic as a teaser and on a second rod have baited hook ready to throw out when the teaser is hit. Done it from a boat, but has anyone tried this from a kayak? It enabled us to mouth hook the shark when used from a boat, but a kayak would probably take a little more coordination or maybe not?

I will definitely take the advice about the front treble to heart. It makes sense. I was actually trolling over the artificial reefs trying to scare up some big bass (with thresher shark in the back of my mind, I admit) And you never know when you might stumble across some bonito out there. They also love the Rapala. The other thing I like about Rapalas is that you can really feel when they are running clean. As soon as they pick up some detritus, The wobble stops and you know it's time to clean it off. I have some of the new Koppers jointed herrings that are great looking lures, but I just can't FEEL them as well. They swim great and look natural, but they don't seem to have that violent wobble thats brings fish in.
