- Furl the leader into coils larger than the diameter of the reel, leaving enough free at the end to keep the pitch bait in a bucket or cooler.
- Stretch a rubber band around the reel side plate. Pull the rubber band through the top of the coils, then over to catch behind the harness lug.

- The leader now remains neatly coiled in place, with the rigged bait at arm’s length, ready for deployment.
- When a fish shows up, lift the coils, popping the rubber band off the lug as you toss the pitch bait for a fast and easy delivery.
