Im looking for a technigue to rig spreader bars with multipule hooks. As many of you already know many fish hit the outside of the spread where their is no hooks and loss alot of squids not to metion fish. Anyone know of a way to rig the spread to have more then just the chase bait. Ive tried just riging it with hooks on hte out side but it bent or broke some of the smaller bars not to mention tangeled the heck out of rig.

Any one have any tips let me know.

The trail bait usally has the hook because the center of the bar is the strongest and usally runs right into the bridle. hooks on the outside will foul your bar and make constant tangles not to mention the poor mate trying to wire a pissed off tuna with a few sets of hooks behind (or beside) him
