Hi Italo, one of my Christmas gifts gifts was a smoke colored fireline. What conditions is this best for? Also I enjoy top water fishing on the Grand River, I know that chug bugs and poppers are basically \”twitched\” in on retrieve, I was wondering if you could suggest some techniques for my zara spook topwater lures. Is it possible to \”walk the dog\” on a river?
Posted on December 26th, 2007Hi Ryan….The “smoke” Fireline is as natural color as they can make the superbraid lines. Fireline is ideal to use with artificial lures when you want a fast hook-set (no-stretch), or you want to feel bottom details (Fireline is excellent for transmitting vibrations and fishing jigs along the bottom). If you are live-bait fishing or needing to make a “finesse-presentation” with live bait, you are better off using monofilament line. A Zara Spook is a good all-round surface lure to use when the water is flat (no waves), and clear. You can use a walk-the-dog topwater presentation at any time. One of my favorite topwater lures is the Rapala Skitter Walk. You can chug-it, pop-it, and do a very tantalilzing walk-the-dog with it. I especially like it because 2/3 of the bait hangs below the surface when you pause it resulting in very good hook-ups…God bless you, Italo
