Deep Diving Plugs

[Plug]

Another good deep running plug that doesn't get much play in the north is the mirrolure.

I like the 72M or the 77M.

They don't have a lip to make them dive but are weighted to sink.

The 77M will run to about 12'.

The 72M runs about 6-8' but you can get them deeper by throwing them uptide and letting them sink on a slack line like a jig. Then tighten up on them at about 45 deg. downtide to swing them across the current flow.

I like the 72 a little better since I believe the extra weight of the 77 deadens the subtle but deadly action of the lure.

The windcheaters and the mirros are the #1 and #2 deep running plugs down here for fishing the end of the Indian River Inlet. A place that defines a deep, fast, breachway. Cheaters usually get the nod if the fish are on larger bait, mirros if they are on spearing, peanuts or the like.

Oh yeah if you want to fish 72's you better scarf 'em up. They are discontinued.
