All right guys point taken. I will put on my neoprenes to thicken my skin if needed.
Great thread without my off topic interruption.
Anyway, back on topic. I love fishing tins as much as bucktails. If I know they are hanging low then I usually throw on a Blue Frog and have at it. If they are not hitting I will throw on a tin. This certainly works out best at dawn and dusk. There are new tins out that are black powder coated for use at night but I have yet to try them. Has anyone else?
I see guys put on a tin and crank it in at the speed of light (same with pencils). STOP THAT! Slow it down. It is slow and low just like a buck. Depending on what kind of tin you are using you don't even have to give it any action. The tins with the keels are my preference. Actually I prefer Charlie Graves "J" series .
Rarely do I use a diamond jig. Unless sand eels are around and the jig has a green tube trailer.
A last reminder. As Ralph Votta (maker of Charlie Graves Tins) told me "Fish 'em to yer feet"
