Getting that light yo-zuri type plug out there. I haven't done it that much.....but i've read that the old-timers would use this method when they were fishing a breachway, or inlet to a cove, or similar kind of water. They would make a 45 degree cast....out and across current. Then they would flip the switch and let the current take the plug further out from shore than you could cast. Once the plug gets either far enough to reach the fish, or so far from shore that the current gets too weak to move the plug anymore. After that, they can retrive and work the plug like normal if they want. I've also read of guys catching fish with this method without retriving at all....just switching back to normal and letting the current sweep the plug...just like a wet-fly swing presentation.
