30 or 35 series hot shots, especially for big bucks, they will not tolerate them, and there is no more of a violent strike than a plug rod going off... as many times as i have seen it happen i still about piss my self ever time. laugh

Would love to master the metal as well and try to mix it in with each trip out. Usually I stick to the tried and true method for me which is cured prawn tails with a small cheater and yarn. Fish the plastics as well.

i like to toss hardware around but i get stuck in my drift fishing groove and it's hard to break out of sometimes.  today was an exception, fishing some new water, looked good for drifting but a little slow and too many basketball sized rocks.  copper spoon felt just about right for the situation...all that was missing were the fish!

My favorite to fish is spoons but I have only caught a few fish with them so I will give the nod to drifting fish gutz for consistantly catching fish in nearly all river conditions.

My favorite way to catch fish would have to be hardware because the bite on a swung spoon is awesome, but Id have to say that my most productive way to catch fish is on "prawn holders" or worms under a float.  Wink

This is what I had to say, originally, when the topic was started way back in in January  Wink...
Rag & shrimp!

Its February now, so I think I'll change my answer:



Got to go with the worms for the next couple months.

spin-n-glows and roe all the way since theys rivers seem to be blown out all the time so i just sit back and wait, and when the water is not blown out i like to throw jigs on the ol cp and then spoons and when the water conditions are right i like throwing intruder patterns with my spey rod.
