J-Plugs

[papascott]

I am an Eye guy with a salmon addiction! lol I have fished olcott and pt breeze usually 2 times a year for the last 10 years roughly. I started with just spoons and riggers and braid dipseys. Now run wire dipseys, copper, core, flashers about everything but J-plugs. Do many guys use them in these areas and what is the right time place etc etc to use them. Thought I might try some this year as I have 2 trips planned for 7 days of fishing total. Thanks for any insight.

J-Plugs getting wet this weekend.....

Never run them for Browns myself but have heard #2 or #3's sometimes get them.

Another similar plug is the Lyman's

Do you guys run J-plugs with flashers or just by themselves?

Also, I recently read a thread about not securing the J-plug to your line with a swivel because it can get crushed with a fish attached. Do they need to be tied directly to line/leader?
