Strangest thing...
was fishing one of my local haunts this evening...and i ended up loosing a plug (smack-it popper)...it was about 30 yds out and i was casting to it to snag it...when the smack-it gets whacked by a fish...the thing is that i have not even had a hit for the hour that i was fishing and the fish nails a plug just sitting in the water??...to make matters more frustrating, the fish swims by 3 feet in front of me 10 minutes later with the plug in its mouth...at least it was just a 20" fish....weird evening...

Sooooooo............start working your poppers slower. The cost of a Smack-it popper is a cheap lesson. Get back out there and nail them.  |

Another lesson no one hears... The Smack-It is a fish catching plug and reasonably priced to boot...

Almost lost the pole . Did get the fish in 36 inches. if your plug or bait is in the water remember you are fishing and like striperman said
never , I mean never wrap the line around your finger . The super braids out there are unforgiving. |
