Tattoo's swimmers
 
Looking into getting a few tattoo swimmers....fishing Rhode Island shore, like Charlestown Breachway, Weekapaug Breachway, Watch Hill etc. during the day and at night when I run out of eels.

What sizes/colors should I get?

but they have his darters in, im getting a black/purple 3oz. darter and also 2 tattoo poppers - yellow, and mackeral.

You don't know until you try 'em...

i think ive snagged more sinking poppers than anything else in my tackle box....maybe I need a faster retrieve ratio? my 706 isnt gonna crank that in well, ill be lucky if I get 3 "pops" im horrible with sinking poppers:(

I placed a big re-order with Tattoo...everyone should pressure him to crank them out!:D

Vic - if you are using braid with poppers that could be part of the problem....braid sinks. Opt for mono when using poppers.

Joe, ya killing me man. :laughs:

30# fireline for floating poppers is OK though right?

Joe 11-13-2003 09:46 PM

:wave: WeeWee

Vic - I know Power Pro sinks...I carry a spool of mono for my day fishing for that reason. I don't know about Fireline....
