I know some of you guys fish Treats quite a bit, and thought I'd throw this out to you...No Pun Intended! I've fished Treats many times , but can't seem to get them to work right. I've tried fishing them like a glide bait, but they only seem to go side to side initially, but with minimal success. Do you fish them fast or slow? Greg said something one time , that in the winter, he rarely works them, another words, a twitch a pause and then just lets them wobble and sink. I think I understood it that way. I've got a couple and would really like to get decent with them. Can't someone help me with this? Thanks
Sometimes you've got to "jiggle' it, and sometimes you've got to give it one big

George,i dont fish treats.But,the one or two times ive thrown them a lite tap pause,tap pause seemed to work well.It seemed to be a slower moving bait for the most part.With all baits you need to try different retreives to see what it will do in all conditions.

George,
To me it is the rod. You need a light tipped rod. Too heavy a rod will not let this bait work right. Bob was right, very soft taps, especially in the begining. Once the baits gets going you can start to hit it harder but in general, soft taps.

Greg, when you say light taps initially and progressing to harder taps, is the bait still going side to side, or are you working fairly straight toward you. What type of cadence do you have with this to enable a wobble on the drop? Thanks

George,
The bait shoudl be side to side from the beginning. The amount of glide is dependent on each bait of course, but the bait is rarely coming straight back to the boat. The wobble is built into the bait. Nothing to do about the cadence. Stop the bait and it should wobble some on the drop.
