Yep!  New article!

Kinda like strolling a jerk bait. I like the point about keeping the bait in the water. Much more efficient than casting. The point about matching the drifting speed to the bites is also right on. Good article to help you expand your fishing arsenal. 

Works well on Lake Erie.

I had a day I landed 6 5lb SM or better using Kalins twistertail grub in translucent salt and pepper.

My experience you don't have to keep speed down that low.

I wind drift and often am around 5 mph.

You want a stout rod and 35 tp 50 lb line at those speeds.

 

BTW, I also frequent Hall's Marine.

Used to be a fairly common technique back in the 1970’s and 80’s on Pool 4 on the Mississippi River in southern Minnesota. Kind of a lost art, but I’m sure it would still work today…

It still works. I like them on sand drops but I use a small craw on mine.
