I didn't lose a single plug all of last year, which was remarkable since I fish plugs 95 % of the time. My luck definitely didn't carry over to this year, though. Last week I lost a blurple 2 oz. RM Smith swimmer on a bail flip over. Worst part of it was that while I was re-tying, a fish came up and took the drifting plug which was moving pretty good in the current! I'd never seen that happen before. This past Saturday, I took a Hab's Jr. stubby out of the package and clipped it on. First cast, I get a nice fish. Second cast, my braid parted and so long plug. At least the fishing was good.
