yes, the size does change it mildly. but they are two different plugs.
I am going to leave you hanging on the correct speeds. That takes hundreds of rod hours to perfect and I wont just pass it on.
I will tell you that I use kwikfish for salmon, and flatfish for steelhead.
sorry man..
swinging plugs from the bank can be deadly.
I do it with hot shots, tad pollys, and wiggle warts on the clack.
kwikfish and flatfish are best backtrolled (for salmon and steel) and there simply aren't as many places from the bank to do that. some points are great and you can stand on the tip of them and walk the plug down the seam. The other option is obviously wading.
plug fishing is where a big piece of fiberglass or aluminum comes in very handy.
No worries man...I have probably worked more than the hundred hours tossin hot shots and wiggle warts!! Just not the kwiks and flats. Big time hits with the afore mentioned plugs! Its a hoot to watch my 8'6 dance with a wiggle wart! While fishing them, I get a lotta weird looks, especially when combat fishing at your local battlefield when the springers are runnin. Guys gotta get thier plug on!
Now were talkin! So does anyone change the hooks on their plugs, or omit a hook altogether? Or run the bead chains down to hook on the belly or the tail? You guys try puttin a wrap on a smaller kwik or flat? I dug some up outta the depths. Gotta few X5's and a couple U20's. They are too small for Chinook I would know, but anyone know what they ARE good for?
