Freshwater fishing: Fishing big plugs for big fish
I started this because Rip-Plugger mentioned a kid was using some of his plugs for the salt AND the sweetwater.
People may think a wood plug is too big for fresh water fish, that it's overkill.
Maybe if it's 12", yep I would agree. However, a plug of 5-7", with a big profile, metal lip, spook, or some other wood swimmer, can be deadly for bass, big pike, and muskies.
Here's a testimonial he sent me.....
I sent him a slipstream plug for trolling/deeper water.
he and his dad went to montauk for a few days.
he caught some choppers on my wood.
they then headed upstate N.Y. to this big lake for bass.
he slings out my fat p-knut and BAM!,,a fine 3 pound smallie.
a few casts later BAM!,,a large yellow pech.
a few cast ater that BAM!,another fat smallie about 3 pounds.
they ate lunch and then went back to fishing and BAYUM!,,he hooks,fights
and lands a beautiful 7 pound largemouth!.
Is that freakin' sick or what!
