What type and size/weight spoon i should use for s
- Thread starter Shady
- Start date
It depends what you're targetting...
Keep the tip of the rod low...
Shad - steady retrieve keeping the lure just below the surface....
Kingfish - fast, skimming across the surface
Garrick - The correct retrieve to use when targeting garrick is a bit slower than one would fish for kingfish. The lure should tumble and splash, but must never jump right out of the water. You will often see a garrick chasing the plug/lure for some distance, smashing and swirling at it, but not connecting. When this happens keep retrieving without pause, maybe shake the rod tip a bit to give the plug extra action which may trigger the garrick’s instinct to hit it.
The best fun is experimenting, much like dropshot - let it sink, jerk between retrieve sets, fast-fast-stop-jerk-slow-jerk etc etc

Depending on what you are targeting as some fish are vigorous and very strong fighters and some are "gentle feeders". If you are targeting Steenbras for example...your drag tension should not be tight.. It should be light enough for him to pick up, swallow and run off..Hence why your drag needs to be light...However....Some guys dont fish for Steenbras with light tensions as some of them "believe" that the fish needs to hook itself and run with that specific tension....
Just my 0.5cents
