Stupid colors

Stupid color this year is a lovely shade of muave with electric purple poka-dots....Nobody deserves that:shock:!

Essentially plunking is using enough weight to hold your gear in the lanes salmon and sttelhead use to travel up river, letting your gear work, usually with a spin glow and bait but can be done with spinners, woblers, spoons and plugs in the right situations

:think: OK color me stupid What is plunking :think: and when you guys talk about eggs and bobbers are you talking about salmon row :think: Thanks for any comments

Plunking: 3 way swivel or sliding dropper, big piece of lead 2-8oz usually,
whatever size leader you want, spin n glow or plug at the end, then you find a spot where fish like to rest or seams where fish travel and you throw it out there and let 'er sit.

Salmon or steelhead roe works for bobber and egg set-up.
