these are the slammers that Al Gags tried to market to surfcasters.
problem was: they dont cast too well.
Don Blizard {bliz} took them and adapted them for trolling. and man-o-man what a rig he came up with!
these things are deadly! and they swim like the #^&#^&#^&#^&ens.
look out school tuna, here we come!

tff: they work great for sight casting on Dorado too.
You're not throwing far so castability really isn't an issue.
Them west coast salmon plugs (look up ace high etc.) are also KILLER for offshore fish.

GB -
That's the rig you showed me at the Mass Bass show? No kidding.  |

Jim I thought of you and Devils Bridge as soon as I saw how good this thing works. You just might see me out there this weekend if the winds are not to bad.Also can't wait to get over to Sow and Pigs with it. This thing trolls and controls the best of any BIG school rig I have tried. Congrats Bliz I think you have a winner. Now how about bringing a few other colors over and you and me giving them a try out side as Jim said I would love to be a tester for some other colors  . That first one set me back a bit but you got to pay to play.Matt yes thats the rig I bought one from the guy at the show. |

Wed it hit about 75 at the house but on BB and Vineyard Sound it never got above about 45-50. Was just plain miserable out there if you weren't in full foul weather gear.
Never switched the instruments over to water temp, was too cold to care. 
One boat fishing quicks and nobody out on pigs or the bridge yet. |

Jim never got a tangle and I don't think it can twist its made with real good snaps/swivels so it seems to ride true at all times. You asked about a down rigger do you have one and use it? I have a Scotty that I have had for years but only used a few times but would like to learn how to put it to good use this season so any help would be great.
