Crazy:
I spend 90% of my time throwing chunk bait or live lining. I throw lures on occasion, but not as much as I probably should. Here's a question for you:
Besides technique (which we know is important), what tips can you give to launch some smaller swimmers/plugs (3/4-1 1/2 OZ.) For example, I'm using 15 LBS test, on a 7 foot light/medium, fast action pole. Would you suggest using a stronger or longer (or both) pole? Do you suggest adding weight to the lure? If so, what do you use? When there is a strong wind in your face, do you approach casting differently?
Any and all advise would be welcome. I'm getting the lures out there a good distance, but more yardage is required in a few places I fish.
Thanking you in advance,
