Paul, I must have 20 - 30 of them. I threw them a lot for a while, but have yet to even raise a fish on one. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Tried many different retrieves.  |

Back in the late 80s and early 90s they were the killer lure on the Backside. Don't know why. Like Capesam said. Let it rest and pop a couple of times. Always hit them when they were resting.

CS & Piemma, Thanks! I knew a couple of you guys would have some insight on the plug. That's probably one of the only retrieves I never tried.

The same thing works with regular atom 40's too. Bend the eye up to cause a sudden downward dart when you jerk the line, and let it sit. It is almost like a popper. Use 25 or 30# mono, no leaders if possible. The fish will actually swim around under the thing and inspect it closely, sometimes there are a bunch of them under it. |
