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.
