Ed ,, wasn't your plug the one with the magnet hook holder ? ,, frigging genius .. Unless I missed it ,I didn't see anything derogetory toward anyone ,, just hashing things out ,,.. Action is overated .. sometimes I think a little less action is more realistic.. I'm mainly a needle fisher ,, closes thing to chunking ..

I got that plug Numby ,, sorry ,,,, not

Action

Definitely over rated at times.

Injured or retarded fish swim all wild and crazy, but the other 99.9% just flick their tails and glide along.

One of my very favorites is a plastic swimmer with the lip removed just fished like a needle with an occasional twitch. Or just let it stem in the current of an outflow...

That belly magnet is genius!

It's those injured fish that make an easy meal.

Thanks guys but I'm still not sure about the magnet. It did make a difference as far as hook pointers but I might have dropped a few more fish than I would with a plug that has no magnet. I hope to get the chance to fool with some building again in the near future.

Also the guy that said to me wouldn't a rubber band accomplish the same thing is in my book a genius, I mean really I never thought of that. I'm just the kinda guy that will climb over a fence and land on the other side and then see someone open the unlocked gate and stroll right through.
