Title: Re: Secret lure Post by mastertangler on Sep 14th, 2011 at 2:20pm
That's the color and I bet it would work but I was using the marabou instead of the plastic. The white one didn't do so well.
It was calm and I was able to just ease along in about 8' of water with my rod in the rod holder stuck out near the weed edge which I could see. I think I had 6 lb test. I was surprised at how nice the fish were. They were decent sized ones that you expect to catch just before dark not at 2 in the afternoon on a bright, sunny, calm day. If it would of been rougher the 1/8 ounce would of been tough to keep down and a 1/4 oz would of been a better choice. It is also highly snag resistant with the single hook which rides up. I had 2 and lost them both to pike later that day but heck at $1.39 (?) they are cheap enough. One last thought........A good lure IMO to give to a beginner "fisherperson" (I'm tryin hard to be PC ;) ). Easy to fish, will catch just about anything and with the single hook is very forgiving both to operator error (giving a fish slack on the fight) and to ease of release without having to deal with a bunch of treble hooks and a floppin fish. |
