Sliding a live bait sometimes provides a bit of a problem. Here is a great tip to help when sliding a mullet, shad or strepie on a steel trace.
Cut the tip of a cable tie at an angle so its sharp then stick it through the top of the eye socket of the baitfish so that it comes out above the other eye. All you are doing when piercing the socket is breaking a thin membrane, it goes through very easily.
