Plugs - How to run them for chinook

[the fog ducker]

X2................

I have found Tubby's work good with the mixed gear...fish good at a little slower speed ..that what I would fish....agree if you are fishing 7in Classic..speed and just plugs.....my 2 bits

Plugs are my favor thing to use other than the clasic anch and flasher. but when i run plugs i always run them on both sides and 30 feet back and just troll faster than you normally would

Good to hear Derby. How much more action do the tubbies have in comparison to the classics? It is a lot, or hard to notice? Have you ever run a tubby with success at traditional
"plug speeds" with other regular plugs?

 

[Derby]

for me it has the same as the classic just doesn't need the speed...

FishWhisperer........I went on Tomic's site and there's no #546 plug listed or shown there...

Got a pic?

If you can ever find an old Lucky Louis Shovelnose or Wallace Highliner (they are wood) at a garage sale, you will have the best plugs EVER MADE and they fish at slower speed. They were a killer in Tyee Pool out of a Row Boat!
You may have to refinish them (they are generally pearl white with a pink back) to the colors and spots that they like off shore. Like so much of the good stuff from the past they have not been made for years.

RS, Love the key ring. Did you do that yourself? Haven't seen one?! I forget the middle blue pichard pattern # but it did very well offshore with a dummy flasher for me last year (non tubby though).

Not to mention make yourself some money. I have heard of some selling for well over $100. to Campbell River Tyee Club rowers especially if they are proven tyee catchers. They are rare and 99% of the Lucky plugs are the common plastic non-shovel nose variety that works better at higher speed.

I do have a Wallace plug I picked up from a garage sale in great condition and it is worth a lot more than the change I paid for it. There may be different models of Wallace plugs and the one I have may be one of lesser value at least for fishing in the pool. Perhaps some of the Tyee Pool guides out there will know if it has any value for that purpose. It is white pearl and identical to the one in the link above except it has two large treble hooks attached to barrel swivels imbedded in the plug rather than just the back one. This could make it more of an issue to convert to a single non-treble hook which is a requirement for the Tyee Pool.

You can order them right from Tomic but it wouldn't be hard to make. They had a half dozen or so colors to choose from. I'll have to order a few more since it was supposed to be for the boat but my wife already snagged it!
