Favorite plugs?

[LOMA 2]

I was hoping that this was going to get around to j-plugs, cut plugs, etc.  What was once a go-to bait is now a late fall afterthought, why ?  I'd like to hear if plugs are finding their way back into the mix and when and how they are being

used. ( I have noticed that the teams on Salmon Showdown seem to use them more often than we do.)

The Cut Plug and Green Glow Black Ladder Back. They worked 30+ years ago and still work for late season kings. I will also stack a #3 or run one off a dipsey now and then when I'm on kings.

I love the Lyman's and the new Dreamweaver plugs for copper and leadcores when we have a rollover or staging fish.

I like # 3 & # 4 Jplugs,tiger plugs , And some old #3 canadian plugs ( J plug type with single treble attached. ) I redo the hook harnesses w #65 braid and use size 1 on 3's  and 1/0 on 4's ls374 trebs .

 

 I use them almost exclusivly after labor day for staging fish  in my small boat. Off riggers 25-150' back .

I run 1 or 2  and that's it. 

 

I like the old glo green flouresent  w/ or W/o ladderback, silver bullet , cut plug ,and my first thing in the morning hands down favorite pearl white  red head w/ black dots. I have a gold one that catches fish when nothing else works, a watermelon that has its days also a jet black w/ purple ladder back and others I painted . Found at least half of them floating. 

 

I have had days over the past 10 years where I alone have boated 7-8 kings by 8 am. This past year I went out 7 times and had 1 on, so go figure.

I dont have a boat so I dont salmon fish out on the lake, except for a few charters each year. I did go on a trip to the NWT last summer and we used a plug made by Tomic. It had 1 treble hook bottom front. We used them for lakers, my guide raved about them.

Brad's Cut Plug has been good to us... especially handy when you run out of real cut bait
