Lures
Submitted by Ganged on Tue, 2009-04-07 14:13
Hi guys i would like to know if anyone has any advice using lures land based and what type. I have read on here that poppers are good for taylor.
I want to try something different this comong weekend (going to try and find loonies) i have some soft plastics but no lead heads will be getting some before the weekend. This will be the first time i will be using them. do i use a portenoster rig on the soft plastics or single hook rig?
Thanks

just leader straight to jighead.
jigheads are made to jig around on there own. You can do anchored rigs but not with weighted hooks. Offshore might be a different story which i wouldnt know about. As you will notice how jigheads are made to have leader from the top and when attached sits on a 90degree angle and the hook is facing up. Thats so while trolling/jigging from the shore it actually avoids snags very effectively while giving the plastic the so sexy swim/glide action.
Im newbie with plastics but i figure that i cant be far off.
Hope that helps.
