Plug question

[Northdogboy]

So I want to try trolling from my kayak.
Iv got a assortment of spoons but id like one or two plugs to try. Fish mostly around Nanaimo. But would like something that's a good general color that works most of the time.

kayak fishing will be a slower troll so i’d get a tomic tubby which are designed to troll at slower speeds. can’t go wrong with a 5 or 6” 602 uvbiirt

look at Fishinator plugs, I believe he is on Facebook and Instagram... and likely this page too. His shovelnose plugs are made to troll slow.

That plug mentioned by RiverBoy is a winner. Problem will be that a plug needs to be at least 25ft behind the weight/downrigger release clip to get proper action. That said it may still catch at shorter lengths.

Fishinators made by Terry work very well and he has some wicked salmon fishing colors and everything from 2" - 9" plugs we troll them up here in the okanagan at 1.8 - 3.5 mph with awesome action.

There are some excellent plug fishing tips on the Tomic website - Tomic Lures.

at slow speeds, If the plug is too far back, it will just float to the surface. I regularly fish plugs from my rowboat, Use a slider weight and run the plug 15 to 25 feet back.

Also i find if you set the knot high on the eye so the plug plows down and it also increases the action and helps keep it down ! imho regards

Fishinators are awesome. The action is superior to Tomics at human-powered speeds.

Can't believe how prices for those Fishinators have climbed since I bought my first.

Anyway behind a kayak I'd go for articulated plugs as shown

Top two-Tomics, Middle ancient Rebel, Bottom Yo-Zuri w/UV tape.

Like those jointed tomics. Unfortunately no longer available.
