Sorry Ram, hoochies are old new as Bob stated. But they work!
Some of the guides on the NC started wrapping sandshrimp ,eggs, etc on their steelie plugs last year (maybe before that)
That was interesting
I am thinking or a 1/4oz spinner bait, maybe side drifted.. ?? drifted in colored water?
As for the spinning/casting rod... wow, good idea, performance would need to be #1 priority when constructing this new wonder stick.

We fished some 1 3/4" grubs on jig heads last summer.. that was sort of a new twist to an old concept.

The newest Salmon trick this year was either cut Sardines.. (won't go back to Herring) or Shad strips w/ hoochies.. ocean fish love these.. both probably weren't, "New" ideas, but both worked better than old ideas as the time.

cool thread, thanks for letting me play!
