Big-O Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Tug - Tug - Tug your boat... Gently down the Lake She ate a Rage Hawg then TOWED my Boat to deep water! I just held on for the ride Still pitching with a 3/4oz Tour Grade Tungsten, Moaner Stick'r hook, 65# Suffix Braid and a 7'11" Rage Rod by St Croix. For me, there has been a solid flipping bite since late December and I think that the fish actually make me change to this general presentation every year at about the same time. Since I enjoy flipping/pitching probably more than any other style of fishing... I say THANKYOU FISH Notice the dash lines marked on the braid... For years, when the braid lost its color, I just ran a solid color up the line for a couple of feet. A few years ago, Paul Noles mentioned that the dash lines worked for him and I decided to try it Been doing it ever since and I feel it may be even better! I think that the dashes on the line may in fact be harder for a fish to notice or recognize and possibly create a flicker rate scenario that the fish either don't understand or see as a fishermans line. The baits action either while moving or on the fall is what attracts the fish and whether the fish strikes immediately or not, the dashes may add to the flicker rate or amount of movement involved while in motion or possibly be less obvious when sitting still... All my opinion of course but I have dwelled on this for a long time and think that this is probable... OR NOT To that, I say THANKS Paul Happy Easter Folks! www.ragetail.com 2 Quote

pbrussell Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Using your terminology, THAT is a walrus. Do you ever have weeks where you're not catching pigs? Sheesh man. Quote
