Do you load the Northbars ? I was wondering what you mean by LDP style fishing. Ty,,I have developed a feel for them and I can control them and their depth when working a rip,slow is the game and when you feel the rips grab them slow it down and it will stay at the same depth,speed it up and it will go a bit deeper. as for loading them,I don't like to mess with their or any plugs design unless it is the lip on a custom wood plug. I may modify it if it has too much lip. loading them or any other plastic plug,no,would not change it.now,LDP style fishing stands for long distance plugging. I work a huge mudflat that's off shore I throw the plug out,let it ride the tide and then roll it home slow,covering the area as much as possible. one can reel in half way then free spool it back out or any amount of distance one wants,one can even let it hang out there waggling and the fish will find it. can do it with a surface swimmer or shallow diver or even a deeper diver depending on the flats depth. have proven it many times,too many to count.

I got to try that LDP method of yours oh yes,it works killer. all you need is a current that flows away from you and cast out,let it ride the tide waay out,engage the reel and slow roll it home,you can stop it and let it float back out at any point. if you have deep water like 20 feet you can use a creek chub giant pikie,gibbs bottle or northbar type lure and if there are any out there,you can get them. mind you,I don't fish spinning I only do winches so it works very well for me. one shot of a fish taken on a CC giant pikie using that method.

HH I am the opposite, but I have to give the conventional reel a try. I will add that to my list of things to learn this year. Haha Do you recommend I load the conventional reel with mono first or braid for a beginner? Thanks for your tips.

Thanks for your tips. personally,I don't do braid,I use salt striker copolymer line from cabelas. the line I use on my big sticks would be 25-40lb,the copolymer line is thinner than standard mono,cheap and you can buy it in bulk spools for cheap. the 30lb is as thin as 20 standard mono more or less. there are several other cheap monos I use and they perform well. omniflex being one of them and very cheap @ $1.74 a spool of 15 @500yds. tried them late last year and it did good. sea-striker is another one I like,very soft and smooth. with braid it has to be spooled on tight!
