Plugs and Hard Baits |
||||
|
Examples include top water poppers, floating minnow, Rat-L-Trap, spoons, and jigs. Advances off of the basic designs have been innovative with the broken back minnow concept, suspending plugs, and rattling sound incorporated into most plug offerings. Plugs can be fished in many ways such as on top, slow retrieve, deep, bouncing off the bottom, suspending, and hybridized such as using a Carolina rig with a suspending or floating plug. Plugs come in two basic styles, lipless and lipped. Lipless plugs such as the Rat-L-Trap are effective in covering a lot of water fast and do not hang up in brush as easily as other plugs. Plugs with lips are good for trolling, bouncing the lip off of bottom structure, or suspending with varied retrieval speeds. |
