thanks tdf and salty. (i do have access to one of yer 2.5s)

i understand the weight to depth/current factors.. i just cant figure out exactly what the lure it self is supposed to be doing. i was always under the impression that it was supposed to come in straight with no action. which never made sense to me unless it was topwater. as i have heard that sometimes just the v-wake is enough. after about 4 casts of that though i start with the twitches. it just doesn't seem right that a fish would chase a stick that did nothing. until just now though i had no idea what kind of action i was lookin for. now that i think about it. i suppose its pretty versatile. they are pretty much hard sluggos. and could probably be fished in just as many ways. hopefully some more insight when i get back from the surf. i'll give it a whirl while i'm there. can't hurt.
