No sir....are you sitting down? We use full size 12" baits...got into it last year when my buddy caught a small herring(10") and we threw it on a large quick strike rig under a tip up...wasnt down for 3 hours and bang!! That same herring caught a 15 pund lake trout, and 8 pound ling and a 10+ pound lake trout, before it got lost to a fish...needless to say it totally changed our gameplans for our trip this year!! Especially since i am bunking out in the hut this year
Huts are made to have your second legal rod be a big one....go big or dont both hanging outside!!
