doesn't hurt to change things up though. i've seen fish caught on some really strange setups in the past that i thought would never in a thousand years work. saw a guy put a large spin and glow, large rubber eggs, and rubber worm all attatched together (no bait) cast it out and caught a steelhead first cast. I had been fishing the pool steady for an hr without a sniff... last trip I was on a friend who had never ocean fished for salmon hooked up the trailing single stinger on a cutplug i prepared for him backwards to what is normal. (sunk it in so the sharp hook end was pointing towards the tail rather than the head end...) I looked at it and said sure try it that way, you never know... we caught 2 salmon with it that way and after thinking about it thought maybe it was ingenious... the cutplug had much less chance of snagging up on seaweed, kelp, jellyfish, etc... and when the fish hit it wouldn't feel the sharp hook until the hook turned 180 degrees and set...
