A true classic among swimming plugs, the Danny derives its swimming
action from a fulcrum point "amid ships" compared to the nose action of
the smaller minnow type plugs. This unique action simulates larger
baitfish, which should be kept in mind when retrieving so that the plug is
not over fished. Let the current do most of the work, and vary your
retriever as you move the bait through different types of water. An
occasional jerk of the rod tip that causes the plug to spurt or splash
lightly can be very effective. At night however, a steadier retrieve is
more desirable. Fine-tuning should be restricted to the stainless wire eye
of the plug, leaving the pan lip in its original shape. Bend the eye up
slightly to obtain a deeper retriever, and down for more surface action.
Unlike our direct tie recommendation with other plugs, the Danny will work
better from a black "Duo Lock" snap for a freer swimming action. A swivel
is not needed. Remember, keep those hooks sharp and re-tie frequently to
keep fresh line at the business end of your efforts. Leave this lure in
the water for as long as you can bear it, as its dead-slow wobble will
entice fish to become aggressive and strike.
