    Default The Dangle Method

    Sent in by Rip-Plugger, thanks!


    1.wanna fish a bucktail waay out and not worry about hitting bottom?,,
    2. how about being able to sling a sluggo out to nearly or at 100 yards or
    more?,,
    3. what about fishing a large streamer fly waay out and having no problem
    getting out there 300 feet?

    well heres how you can do it!

    what I do is use my tried/true dangle method,thats right I said dangle
    damn it!

    a. Take a tennis ball and drill a 1/16th hole through both sides of it.

    b. Take your leader[I like 30 inches-5 feet long]and tie a barrel swivel on
    one end.

    c. Take a bait needle and tie it to the other end.

    d. Push the bait needle through the tennis ball pull the leader through
    till the barrel hits the tennis ball.

    e. At the other side of the tennis ball cut the leader leaving more than
    enough to tie on another barrel swivel.

    f. Tie another barrel swivel onto the bottom of the tennis ball.

    g. Now,all you have to do is tie on a bucktail,sluggo or small jig using
    your choice of leader length to fish waay out with ease. as I do,I like
    to put on a 3/4-1 oz smiling bill and sling it out,let it drift waay out
    there and then either employ my "do nothing method" or work it back
    slowly.

    h. This really works well with a 8 inch saltwater assassin sea-shad,I like
    to have 4 feet of leader and do nothing waay out or slowly bring it
    in,they really whack the **** outta it!


    thats the H-H Dangle method *****!

    Solid info here, thanks for posting.
    Along those lines, when the area is rocky you can also drift a pogy from shore with a balloon if the wind is at your back .

    Another variation of this is to use balloons. These crazy Australians got a sailfish balloon fishing off a cliff.

    Default dangling

    I used it today to fish an area that the shoreline is steep and private property.
    I stood on the bridge and slung it out,drifted it out about 180 yards[diaw firewolf rod,glass,9.5 feet/ming-Yang CL-70 loaded with 290 yards of 30 mono] and let it slide to the left and hang it slacker water during the last 2 hrs of flooding tide.8 feet of 50 mono and a 6 inch sea shad.had 6 hits landed 4 fish,school size but it allowed me to fish an area that you only can fish by boat AND my car is 6 feet away from my back.
    reel up,rod away and hop in and go.

    Default Tips for tins

    I think you should patent that dangle fishing method RP. Then you could package it with some new plug or lure designed around it and sell it on an infomercial, you could get rich.
    Or, it could end up as fill on the late night TV commercials. Hey you never know.


    Dressing tins, when throwing tins in the fall surf, sometimes it's not needed to cast very far. When the conditions are that way, if I have a single hook on my tin I'll put a bucktail on it, or a white grub. Sometimes that's the ticket for getting the fish to hit it. You do lose some distance, so only do it if the fish are in close.

    Or you could put a sandeel teaser or a sluggo on an ava, that can work well too. Like that dangle method too, that was funny.

    Default cracking me up

    I think you should add the clambrella, clamzilla, and fishing window weights from the beach to some of these conventional tactics.

    Dark, you should really consider putting some of these in a "best of' forum so we can find them in the winter.
