I want to try pulling plugs on a couple of the rivers when I go to Michigan in a couple of weeks. There are only a few rivers big enough to use a boat in, and that is where I am going. A copule of dumbe questions:

Any particualr size of hot shot,tad polly, kwik fish,hot n tot, or flat fish that I should start with.

Are any colors traditionally better for you

Do I want to use Siwash hooks and tank the trebles

I noticed in one of your pictures that the lips on your plugs are painted flat black, so I'll do that

Is there a specific distance that I want to drop the plugs back behind the boat.

Last but not least, is there any way to use plugs while wading or bank fishing. I thought about standing in the fast water above the hole and dropping back plugs through the hole. Who knows, I may even fair hook a drone that is drifting thru the hole. Thanks for the help
