I never thought of fishing a Dick Nite being Rocket Science and no fisherman should think it is. If you get the basic set up, fish on.

The subject says "proper" so I guess if that falls in the long lining category then ya.

It is probably a more simple lure to fish--next to spoon or spinner --I think. I often walked out to a river with a vest full of shiat--now I got a boat full of shiat. But I think narrowing down your lure selection increases you ability to Hook Up. I found this out when I lightened the load Ok just taking spoons-including Dick nites, spinners and necessary terminal gear. Leaving drift gear, floats, plugs, and uneeded lead.

Dialed in the appropriate water and casted casted casted--and hook ups came and came more often. Learned to troll em, back em down with a diver.

But I hand it to Dick nite, wicked willie--something about them little fluttering spoons. Ya I wont say I havent hooked one on the outside of the mouth-but not intentional. Frick lighten up who has not lined one without trying-your casting in a river there are fish there your lure is moving towards the direction of the fishes mouth—chances are pretty high this might happen eh.

You can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a bulls arse but wouldnt you rather just go to the butcher? Ok not sure where I was going with that but I just wanted to say it.
