Plugging is not about feeding fish (as are eels). It is about fooling fish. Making your offering look like easy prey helps achieve this. The flaptail does exactly that.
as always,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

thanks be to you, George, for your setting me straight~~~
do you not see the similarities with the swimshads, though??

as implied earlier, i LOVE the take on the surface and i've fooled sum beauties with AH spooks and sliders, Salty's sheriffs, RI's custom builder's poppers, Tattoo's jointeds/darters(middle), etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,

ALL good, and very sweet to see/feel the explosion on top!!
i WILL definitely be looking to score some this Winter~~~

yet, none of the above approaches the takes i've had down deep, along the bottoms, from PTSMTH to WHLT and many pts inbetween. either via the snake or the swimshads of aforemention. thanks, again, Numby, excellent compare and contrast with the feeding and the fooling!!

between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!
