Rt,bbdown,
I fish plug cut in the rivers for salmon alot.I have never used a bobber but I do cast it and let it swing,spin in the current,alot like a spoon or spinner.I have caught silvers,huge kings,large cuttys and alot of down river steel in the springer fishery.It is a favorite method but has taken awhile to perfect!

I tie a fixed double hook rig spaced to the size of the bait.I then tie a barrel swivel an inch or so above the hooks.If you don't the leader will twist in no time.I then add a nother sixteen inches or so of leader and another barrel swivel and then a short leader to a small keel sinker apropriate to the river current.Idealy I do not have to reel while making the swing.Having to reel against the current destroys the bait even quicker.The trick in the river is not slamming the hook home right away but feed the bait for a delayed hook set.

I also cure my bait ahead of time with salt or borax depending on the amount of time I have before use.

This is also killer for silvers first rolling into the eastuaries in the fall.It is so deadly I do not use it when the crowds show up.I catch b-mouth in shallow water tidal movement ereas from shore doing this also.I have said before that this method is plumb deadly!
