CaptainJoe Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Spiderwire has a new "sinking" braid (Spiderwire Ultracast Fluoro Braid) that I plan to try on my vertical grubbing using a 6# flouro leader.

dtrs5kprs Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Even better you can run planer boards, hold the swimming grub right at 20 foot and cruise right over them.. Huh?? P.S. Howdy Mr. B! Guess with the lake low we may as well pretend it really is Dale Hollow and break out the downriggers while we are at it. Thanks Bill & Joe for the info on the braid. Went to 6# seaguar for most of my grubs several years ago, vertical or other. Can't really say I lose any more, but definitely more bites. Am used to braid that looks like well rope or anchor chain, will look into the newer stuff. Was just the first mention of fishing braid that deep in the clear water that I can remember. Either deep grub presentation, or even the old swimming hair jig & tail sound like a decent idea right now. I'm with you Denjac...never go out without that 1/4oz grub, and ditto the dock cables, esp when trying to vertical fish around them. Can't get anything off those wires. Used to hold the little brown jig in that place of esteem, but no more. Hold the 1/2oz white spoon a very close second to the grub. Not giving up on the slip float for the f&f, ran into some references on a crappie forum and another brown fish article detailing use of 7' rods and slip bobbers. Thill TG Waggler floats, if remembering correctly. Also have some fly vise ideas for the fly part. Course nothing would be wrong with the fish just up and moving on to eating sticks, grubs, and rigs either.
Fishing Buddy Don House Posted March 1, 2011 Fishing Buddy Posted March 1, 2011 Speaking of : did you get a kicker motor on that new rig? Nope had to go down to a smaller boat for this season. No room. Still large boat just not the big blue tanker... Found this float and fly video on youtube.. bunch of them out there.. Don Capt.
