Everything was fine until the plug foulhooked on its gill plate, then the leader snapped as the bass rolled on me. Lessons learned-
1. make more plugs than i think i need.
2. use 40# leader in the spring even though you think the fish will be small( i was using 15 # flouro)

So, after this loss, i dont have any left for me unless I keep NIB's plug....

Sorry but, i do strongly urge you guys fish these, or least take them for a test swim... they're pissa
Oh stop it with the 20# fish. you're hooking seals and just think they are Bass

No boat, back in the suds.
