The outstanding ability of this plug to attract big bass is due to the
unique swimming action it creates. Unlike minnow type plugs that swim
from the nose, the Danny pivots from a fulcrum in the center of its
body.
Let the current do most of the work, and vary your retriever as you
move the bait through different types of water. An occasional jerk of
the rod tip that causes the plug to spurt or splash lightly can be very
effective. At night however, a steadier retriever is more desirable.
Fine-tuning should be restricted to the stainless wire eye of the plug,
leaving the pan lip in its original shape. Bend the eye up slightly to
obtain a deeper retriever, and down for more surface action. Unlike our
direct tie recommendation with other plugs, the Danny will work better
from a black “Duo Lock” snap for a freer swimming action. A swivel is
not needed. Remember, keep those hooks sharp and re-tie frequently to
keep fresh line at the business end of your efforts.
