Summer/Fall is a great time to vertical jig Rippin Raps on the humps on Rainy Lake. Use your electronics to locate active fish on the tops of the humps and throw back to them. Let the bait get to or almost to the bottom and give it a few rips and if you don't catch a eye right away move on to a new area or hump. 15 min tops before moving on. I like to tie a small barrel swivel between the mono and the braid. or you can tie the braid to the mono and use a snap swivel at the bait. When the fish hits, give it a second before setting the hook to let hit suck the bait into there mouth. Good Luck!
