The traditional CC pike was a subsurface swimmer.
Many of todays newer fatter designs coined after Mike Fixter's plug are topwater tail waggers..Best used when baitfish are present.Like herring in the spring or mullet or better yet peanuts in the fall.Don't let the larger sized models scare you either.The fish are attracted to the action.I often outsize my plugs to cull better fish..Most effective when the water is in a calmer state..
I made some dannys to fish with a good pull.Slight subsurface.Hold em in the wave.Have done very good with em.Lots of times this minor adjustment can be simply done by using heavier hooks..
Subsurface lures I like when the water gets up some.They hold better putting ur offering in the strike zone longer as they done get blasted out by a wave as much..There are times when a subsurface plug will outfish surface plugs in the flat stuff.Who knows why.Sometimes bass just look down..Like when they are on the crabs here in NJ..Let the fish tell ya..
