Subject: Finessing a plug |
|
|
I know that there is a productive plugging board but it seems to me
that plugs can be finessed too. Haven't been playing with jigs and
plastic lately but have been playing with floating swimming plugs using
heavy and light gear in small and large water and working them
extremely slow.
A long cast would literaly take ten to fifteen minutes to finish.
It is amazing that a fish will hit a plug that is just floating there with an
occasional twitch here and there. Discipline is tough when there are
fish breaking in front of you and you want to crank faster to get there
attention. Sticking with it is very rewarding though.
Learning how to set the hook has been a real education. As Ken
recomends using the reel is the only way. When I miss a fish it is
always because I am not paying attention and use the rod. Sticky sharp
hooks are still key to good hook sets also.
So can finesse also mean heavy gear in big water with plugs????
