Deep Diving Swimmers

[joe the plumber]

What about Tatto's Deep Diver?I just did not fish them enough this fall and when I did they casted great and man,did they thump and swim deep in a current.I plan on using these plugs more next year.Especially in inlets.

but did they catch? i think the biggest fish i've caught on the deep diver was only 15lbs. i've done much better with his darter or a superstrike bottle in similar conditions.

Hell No!! But don't blame the plug.Ask anyone who knows me,I couldn't catch a fish if you threw one at me.This is why I will put more time into this plug next year.As for the darters and bottles,I too did much better with them,especially when there were stupid fish in the surf.

Thanks for all the replies so far guys. I like the look of the Tattoo diver and I plan on picking a few up, but I was under the impression that they were more of a medium-depth plug, in the 5-6' range, wheras I'm looking for something like10-15'. I do fairly well working deeper rips with bucktails, and I've got some 3 oz. Tattoo darters but I haven't become confident using those yet, just don't have the feel for it, need more practice.

That man was a genius, Vic you are right on what a cool plug

I thought I'd check out some musky plugs and see if there was something that might work. A lot of the stuff striper guys use today originated as musky lures. I don't know if these would work well in deep rips, but these guys make some sassy plugs, too bad they're not through wired, but I think one of those grub tail jointed things might find it's way into my possession.

lol... boy was my idea of "deep" waaaaaay off.. guess i can stop hitting those 30' - 40' deep holes..

and here i was thinking all my 10'-15' spots were too shallow..
of course i still wrestle with the concept of "what is slow?".

back to the drawing boards..
