[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 336418, member: 330"] I've posted on this subject a few times and always get the virtual three dick stare or crickets. I don't bullshit around about fishing tactics. Texas rigged plastic worms work well for inshore/surf fishing. I preferred 7.5 or 10in Culprits--3/0-5/0 hooks; 3/8 or 5/8oz weights respectively: (only one fish hooked in Cuba on the larger worm--tarpon... never used larger size at Myrtle Beach--5/8oz would provide a healthy cast from surf with a 7.5 worm--wish I'd fucking thought). I try to match the hatch or shock. My go to colors were Motor Oil, Tomato, and black. I caught trout, flounder, redfish, and Spanish mackerel. In St. Augustine I somehow got a 9lb cobia onto the pier from the "back of the surf" with a heavy (flipping--converted to spinning) bass rod. I still have it. It's a cock stiff abomination: It should be noted the strike on a Texas rigged worm is generally subtle and the larger the fish the more subtle and slower tempo the "ticks"; bass, walleye, pike, channel cat: This was when braid was "new/flat" and the Clintongs were an annoying anomaly. On 24 June 1997 a strong northward current was flowing under the St. Augustine pier. I was jigging a 7.5in Culprit "Black Shad" absently in the current and WHAM!!. I hope before I die to experience another such strike. The fish retardly did not use the pier to break me off. It smoked the drag into the surf and I was able to wear it out. For the life of me I don't know how I pulled this off considering the stiffness of the rig. The battle was short but the intensity insane. I was hand over hand pulling it up when a nice lady helped me with a "wingwall" hoop net: 9lb cobia. Anyways, here's my suggestion: Get a couple saltwater spinning reels, fill with 6/20/8/30. Tie on a quality bbl swivel (Palomar knot) then use the other side to attach (via Palomar) for a leader. Don't reel the gd swivel into the tip. Buy rods as you go. Keep the reels full. [/QUOTE]
