To Rapala or not too rapala thats the question?

[skip]

I want to revisit the Rapala issue, well those type of lures, a) have them rigged much closer to the boat and b) have them flat lined which we've not done before.

Flat Lining them will help keep them clear of the other lines which can be rigged higher, still flat lined but slightly higher.

I actually caught a BFT as I was deploying the rapala it had just cleared the main wake turbublence and I was not prepared for it. Thank god the drag was pretty loose as I was deploying but it was still a big shock!
