I've caught alot of Bass and Mullet dead drifting but in the dark it is VERY hard to do.
Reading lots of books over the years I've come to the conclusion that Tabory, Daignault etc are
talking about 'swinging flies' as opposed to real dead drifting.
My dead drift is exactly that, in contact (just) but angler nor line imparting drag
or accelerated tow.
What do you reckon ?
oops - just noticed this was in the fly section :stupid: (suppose a dead drifting plugs relavent mind)Spitfire66 said:Someone I know who knows someone who is having alot of fish on dead drifted ZClaws (really dead drifted) so yes it does work & very well at times Im toldmyfish said:How would you define dead drift ?

On fly and plugs, when dead drifting I've nearly lost the rod so many times !The takes tend to be savage, and most bass almost self hook as the tend to turn back into their feeding station.
Very productive method. One of my brothers favourites too.Marty H said:What you describe as dead drifting is no diff to what i would do when fishing that method in suitable places. It can be great at your feet into deepish white water off rocks letting the swell action move the fly around the water table.
Sounds great. yes, would love to try it and see how it swims.Andy Elliot said:Anyway this is the one I'm working on for the white trout ...another very fine synthetic called Craft Fur .. as you can see by the photos its a very fine material and has a fantastic natural taper
