Some plugs are for salt w ater and some of the same type are for brackish water. Does anyone know what difference this makes to the plug. I can only assume that it,s because they dive a little deeper in different types of water ??? anyone ? I think it maybe explains it on the back of the box but my Japanese is,nt what it used to be :P

Now then ramrod , thought u must of been swept out to sea on them big tides weve had , either that or you had gone awol ;D...i think all it is saying is the plugs for saltwater a fitted with saltwater proof hooks and the brackish ones will be for fresh water with normal brownish coloured hooks , which rot with saltwater ,,, i cant think of the name for them but no doubt thats what it will mean......the diving vane will make the lure work in both salt and fresh water the same ,,, rapala x raps come in fresh water and saltwater and the only difference is the hooks and the fresh water lure as a little feather on tail trebble....is this what you mean ?

Anyway I,ve got some mint plugs now so I,m going to kick Bass ass ;D I,ll take Mart,s "Rapala Rust" plugs back but keep the deep diving ones for yak anchors ;D I tried a few of his plugs last night and did manage to get a schoolie or two, especialy with one of them, which sadly got lost ;)

Yeah shame that Dav, never mind, easy come easy go ;D Any way through the theory of deduction I now know that all the one,s he has left are his good ones so another trip through to see him is imminent.

I may be wrong. But here goes

Salt water has a higher specific gravity than fresh and brackish water and something that will float in salsilly hater may sink in brackish. Maybe a salt water floating popper would actually sink in brackish so couldnt be sold as a popper. Not sure how that relates to your question and is probably of no use to you at all and is probably wrong :D :D.

I,m impressed Glenn, but can,t it just be the hooks :D :D

Youve made me read a science experiment about how a golf ball floats in saltwater but not in fresh. I think I am on the edge of a breakdown. I think its just the hooks Ray ;)

Im gonna have to change this forum so you can say S a l t w a t e r beacause anyone reading will wonder what the flock is going on.

Dav · « **Reply #12 on:** August 03, 2007, 10:43:45 PM »

I supose ure probably right in a way glen false advertisment and all that , maybe thats the reason they only sell em as fresh or salt , not brackish as ray suggested ,,,,

you cant even say T W A T with a space between now because I altered it to stop lobbers spacing his letters out to spell the word.

Badly ;D He only said he was going to carry my yak up Ravenscar when his post should have said he was going to carry it down as well >:( No need to whip himself with nettles though, Ravenscar will do that ;D

Well you,re all ignorant when it comes to fishing ::) The answer is, which I knew all along is not the hooks, how stupid is that, because they,re exactly the same hooks in both types. It,s the size of the diving vane, because of the differing movement of surface water in the sea (choppyish) they are made to dive slightly deeper so it dos,nt interfere with the plugs movement thing. As for proffesor B.B. Hawkins answer, well, you can all draw your own conclusion,s. If anyone has any queries as regards plugs don,t hesitate to give me a ring or you could phone Veals where there is a very helpfull chap who I,ve never spoken to. :-X
