Surprise Care Package from Gag's

Your point is well taken.At no point did I refer to your technique as inferior, it is simply a different approach than I and many others use. The simple fact is that in certain applications, heavier tackle is needed, but that does not make that hook a POS! I have landed fish that even you might be proud of on plugs that were basically designed for large freshwater fish, but certainly not in a boiling rip. The fact is without them, you could not buy a hit.I agree with what you say, I simply don't spend the majority of my fishing time in conditions that warrant heavier tackle. When I do, I use the appropriate tackle. It was not intended as a personal attack, merely a difference of approach.
