AP: Thanks for the awesome tutorial on how to correctly rig the AP Special. I like Bass Assassin lures but because the plastic is so soft, I always had dips and lumps on one side of the body.
That being said, how the heck do you work them (AP spec and Brown Devil Eyes) in a water column of 3-5 ft? Cast, let sink.... twich.....let sink.... retrieve... repeat?
I have a hard time fishing with plastics that don't have a ballast system (paddle tail) to keep them swimming straight and stable. When I twitch the single tail plastics, they seem to just loop around even if rigged to AP's specs.
Do I twitch with a fast retrieve to keep it stable?
I have been fishing G-bay for about a year and am way more successful with topwaters than plastics, brining me to my second point:
I don't have any sweet spots like N Kenny Shell Island () and I think that my success ratio with topwaters is because it is a "searching" bait that calls fish, more than a red/chart plastic mold darting around the water column. Could this be the case?
