With all the new thin spoons to imitate needle fish I got thinking why do we see the majority of plugs used are really not that realistic looking. Why don't we use realistic imitations like a husky jerk or other large baitfish imitation crankbaits? I have even considered this when fishing anchovies.
Depending on the day I sometimes run a "top water" rod with a hootchie or spoon for active coho which often results in some spectacular airborne action and the odd spring however running a crank bait that will dive to 15ft would also be neat.
So why is it we never see crankbaits has anyone ever tried them?
Next time I get out I might have to tow a crank bait and a five of diamonds just to say I did!
