Set up an egg sinker several feet above the plug. Small split shot crimped on the line to keep the egg sinker from dropping down too close to the plug. Guys around here use a set up like that for tailwater areas. Either that or use a jig.

Mmm...I'm gonna catch some crap for this but here goes.

I will at times fish a jetty/breachway with a WIRE LINE setup whereby I will slowly feed a fresh chunk or gob of clam into CURRENT to get into the feeding zone. It's just like anchoring up in a boat near a rip and doing the same thing (a technique I learned from the master - Bob Rocchetta).

The results can be quite stupid, as long as you don't overshoot the feeding zone.

Eben,

If you are trying to get a bait down you have some options...go to a emmmm..."walleye" catalog and get a "Lindy Bottom Walker" that is over 1 ounce...the point is not to go all the way to the bottom but this set up will get you mid water if fishing say a "Breachway"


Another technique that can work is try using a bead chain drail at the connection from running line to leader...bead chainns are good as they have swivels built in and this deals with spin if any...

Now the Truth....It looks like Eben is evolving and will have a 15 weight fly Rod with 900 grain Teeny Line drifting 12+ inch Flies in certain unamed spots

"It is impossible to complain and to achieve at the same time"--Basic Patrick (on a good day)

patrick thats a good idea.

i figured out a solution.. since i am a plug builder i am simpy going to build a bunch of swimmers that have heavy belly weights and a nice slope on the head. this will get those puppies down deep. rubbah core might work too.

how deep are you trying to go?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!
