To Snagg and to Dropp is to,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Pt.JudeJoe]

You snag a pogie and let it swim. It will separate from the school and become the target a a striper wating near the school like a lion on the edge of a herd of zebras.

I am not a big horn tooter (chest pounder maybe but not horn tooter), but in my second book (Striper Strategies) I show three rigs for snag and drop. All 3 used for slightly difference purposes, basically distance. They are intended for the surf but work well in the boat. All are weighted, the weight system is two-fold, distance and dropping the pogie to the bottom where the big girls anxiously wait. They would lick their chops if they had a tounge.

The reason for not bringing it in is b/c you just hit a pogie at 75 yards, to reel it in re-hook it and then try to throw back out to that area in counter productive (and inpossible). Drop her where you hit her.

that's what i kinda figured, DJ, for prolly 95.5% of the applications.

for that .5%, when the school of bunker is in close, around docks in harbors, close to yer feet,,,,,,,,would you still just open the bail and let it swim to where the bigger bass are?

makes sense and thanks again for your willingness to share. still reading your book from two years ago, Striper Strategies is next on the Hit List, m'man. can't wait to employ this method during Spring and Fall,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dawggie!!!
First, m'man, I never said anything about opening any bail. That was the voices inside your head talking. Keep it close when snag and droppin.

Second the bunka won't swim to where the big bass are...that is what the weight is for. The bunker instinctively will want to stay with the school (safety in numbers). The weight will tire the bunka and it will fall into and on to the big bass' dinner table.
Remember that these bunker are sometimes 2 lbs. or more. I liken them to a bluefish, similar power and speed esp. with that forked tail...minus teeth.

When the big bunker are present I always carry a snag rig of some sort in my plugbag, if ther bunker show...I am ready!!!
