For outboards I think they make a FLAP of sorts that can attach to the cavitation plate and it is set so that when you are moving slow it flops down and you go real slow, when you accelerate a little more it flops up and there is little resistance. I never used one but I have seen them in catalogs.
As for T&W....I have tried them and they do indeed work...I just have never landed a monster with the method. I did have a big one on once but ususally they are good for catching 20# class fish. (for me anyway)
I still don't get how they hook themselves either if they go for the head
Agree with Charlies book...the guy is the guru of the tube and worm!
