Is anybody trying a new tactic/lure this spring?
« on: February 04, 2003, 02:21:37 PM »
I was just wondering what everyone's plan of attack was this spring.  Usually every year I pick up something new at the MN Sportshow, and apply it to my spring fishing, then I evaluate its use and hopefully, buy more.  The most successfull products I've used are Mister Twister EXUDE, P-Line mono, Power Pro braid, Vexilar Edge graph, and Penn Powergraph reels.  What are you guys using?

I am making a simple change.  For years while trolling for trout I have used a number 6 or 8 hook with a worm behind my flashers or dodger.  Recently I was at an outdoor show and listen in on a lecture.  The fishing guide recommended using a number 2 worm hook.  I was in shock.  Could I have been wrong all these years!  I have always ignored those big hooks unless fishing for catfish or in the ocean.  

I bought some #2 worm hooks, used a worm stringer, and they worked great.  The nice thing was that none were gut hooked and the hook was easly removed.  I am sold on the #2 worm hook for trolling. I have not tried it stream fishing.

Yes, new on the market, works well for scenting and adding taste to soft plastics. Increases bite and catch
