Popped out for an hour or more over high this morning for a nice refreshing blank, but did learn a chunk more about LRF now that I could see the rod, line and lure working in daylight.
While playing with the lure and different retrieval techniques, I got to thinking about adding more vibration to it and started plucking the braid with my index finger just in front of the reel. This sent a lovely shudder right through the rod and when the breeze dropped and sea movement was minimal, I could see the vibration being carried right down to the water - likely right down to the lure I guess.
I may have got some interest in the lure at that time - the only nibbles I got all session - though I'm not 100% sure as they were very slight.
Anyone else tried plucking the line like this? It's not something I've come across being mentioned (not that I'm extensively read on the subject
).
