just retrieve them at the speed that has them skipping along the surface. Slightly different for each different size.

Had some success on salmon

Sun, 2013-05-26 21:04

Had some success on salmon with the plug...caught a few herring and had one salmon hook up and take me onto a reef last week at busso. The herring took it when i fished rod tip down and the plug was just under the surface, the salmon took it when i was skipping it across the top. Get a high speed reel, i used my 3000 tierra low speed and its hard work after a couple of hours, Then got a SOL2 3000H and its a dream, can fish all day.

 I generally like them doing

 I generally like them doing bit of both, skipping on surface and the occasional swim just under the surface, I like then over normal poppers for that reason, 

using your rod tip you can change it up either way, lil bit of skip on surface and a lot of under surface swim or other way with mostly skipping and a lil bit of below surface,

just love the distance you can get them out.
