Yes I have read through almost all the topics on Tomics already but I couldn’t find what I was looking for.
Here’s the scoop…
I’ve been a fisherman for quite some time, but my weapon of choice over the years has always been bait, spoons or hootchies. Not long ago I discovered the joy of catching fish on Tomic plugs and have realized that I have a couple that work pretty good and catch consistently.
What I am wondering is if there is a way to rig plugs to fish for bigger fish. This may sound silly but with my other choices of gear I know exactly how to target larger or smaller fish but with my Tomics so far it feels like they catch fish or they don’t, and most of the time if I am running both sets of gear my flashers (if rigged for bigg’ons) catch me bigger fish than my plugs.
This seems the opposite of what I thought was going to happen, especially since I am using 6” classics and 6” tubby plugs, and sometimes 5” classics.
I pull the pins on my plugs and I’m trolling tubbies about the same speed as I pull flashers, the classics I go a bit faster on to get them darting around better. I run the line through put a bead (or two) and then the hooks that come stock with the plugs.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
