And being organized on the water makes for more efficient time not wasted looking around for a plug you know is somewhere on the boat...that is why your a highliner!

I like to keep 2 rods rigged with my best plugs ready to go and do a quick tack thru the area where’s there’s bait and fish

Just plugs with pins pulled

Yes, all good patterns but some individual plugs just fish better than others

Did you forget to say which ones?

The ones that catch more fish.

No, I didn’t forget.
In my opinion there’s no 1 size fits all.
A lot of variables such as water color, light conditions, depth you’re fishing, bait size and time of year.
I committed to them for several years when I was fishing without guests, many times without success but learned a lot. Having access to a lot of fish around Tofino certainly helped with the learning curve.

For us pin pulling dummies, Tomic has a great overview of this mod here: https://tomiclure.com/instructions/fellow-fishermen-tips/pull-the-pin/

Brass pins (towbar) are easier to snip and pull, the stainless ones take some effort.

Indeed, and the old time highliner trollers used to mark the good ones - usually a simple line for each fish scratched into the shovel nose area using the hook until it was evident from a few marks that was a winner. And, when you lose a good one its a very sad occasion. One advantage to pulling the pin is often the plug floats to the surface and if you are lucky it can be seen and retrieved.
