gotcha plugs - yellowsub - 07-11-2001
Hi again fellow fisherfolk, this is Neil from Trinidad. When fishing for Spanish Mackerel (Carite), we usually small jigs or spoons or live bait. But recently I visited the Longbeachpier website out of Carolina and the craze seemed to be Gotcha Plugs. Can anyone with experience with these plugs attest to their reliability?<br><br>

Neil<br><br>Are you shore casting or trolling from a boat for those Spaniards?<br><br>Either way, and while I have no doubt that the Gotcha's are a good plug i find them a bit light for casting.. I prefer Rapala's because of they are a bit heavier in the body, have a tight body action and chromed bib. Lot's of nice flash from that and especially useful if your casting them from land. <br><br>From a boat I get biased ofcourse in favour of our bladed Semtex Lures (ballyhoo profile). <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
