[QUOTE="DerHornen, post: 91007, member: 672"] It would be possible to fish them from shore if you're able to find the right conditions. Slow death rigs need a relatively narrow water speed to be successful. I usually pull them between 0.7 and 1.0 mph on stationary water, and sometimes bend the hook to adjust the action to match my intended speed. That would be tough to do from shore on a river because the water rarely moves the same at shore where you can see it to tune the presentation as it does in the location where you would cast to. You could make some educated guesses but it would be tricky. If the action isn't right there's really no advantage over a typical lindy rig. [/QUOTE]
