Bob is correct...good plugging is a art. It is also critical to have good tuned plugs. The reason for the lines to be parallel to the water is so the plugs get maximum dive depth from the length of the line. It turn this will help you cover more water in a hole by lengthing the bottom coverage of the plug. And yes Bob is a excellent plugger (please refer to his picture section everyday if you doubt it).
