Looks like quite a few guys a fishing plugs for blackies lately. I picked up a few on Ebay and don't really know how to properly rig or fish them. Recently Downriggin and others brought up plugs in another topic. I'd like to get a little more info.

The plugs I got are Silver Horde Tomic plugs that measure 71/2". Are people fishing plugs that are this big? Do you fish them behind a Flasher or just straight off the DR release? I'm thinking that you fish them w/o the flasher since they have their own action. Sounds like you troll them pretty fast right? As far as setting them up with a hook - which style of hook works best?

Any other info about thw hows and whats of plug fishing would be appreciated.
