But weren't surfsters originally designed for flat water thats why no weight and alot of roll?So when you bring it in slowly it has that wounded baitfish action.

Good morning all. Been finishing up some stuff. I'm pretty much done fishing for the year so it's little things like this that help pass time. Nice to get to see what others are up to.

Looking like a wounded baitfish yeah.......but a 180 degree roll is just plain ugly. Might be great in calm, slow water but the "Prey" swims in calm water and it excells in fast moving and rough water! It works great in the canal!!
|
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Not a believer in hydro-orientation. I believe the belly weight (when using one) and or the weight of the hooks and hardware will offsett any wood density issues. Just my .02 cents.....no offense Tagger.  |

took a long time, but i converted... i have some "commercial" and "Non-commercial" wooden plugs that don't sit right in the water, or swim properly... and the weight of the hooks, hardware etc. did not correct the issues... by taking these plugs and dissecting them and the issues they had individually... hydro would have cured most of the ills... once all hardware and weights removed..and just dropped the wood in a bucket... well seeing is believing the float test told the tale, before and after...
also proper weight placement ...tail weights have to be dead on center...(belly weights too, but that is a given)
i have a commercial made (no names and never will reveal so no PM's please  ) pencil that sits with the belly hook almost full out of water...will not correct on retrieve either... easy culprit to ID...tail weight is way off center , so plugs lays about 100 degrees out...
no quality control in that shop.....
never say never Larry.. and i'm freaking bull-headed...but i converted.. i'm drinking the hydro now.. |

That is whats great about making custom plugs you tailor them to suit your needs.Fishing on the North Shore of L.I. (Sound side) water is flat most nights surfsters do great in these conditions.Larry i don't have one of your prey swimmers we will have to trade so i can try one out. |
