I picked the brains of a lot of vets this year regarding Dannys and lost big fish after a LOT of tragedy and pain last year on my part and the general consensus is that it's just the nature of the plug. DZ,
Zeno, and others.
Maybe it's where the fish gets hooked, maybe it's the torque, no one was really sure other then that you're just not going to have the high landing percentage you would with something featuring a single hook like a rigged
Sluggo or a live eel.
I'm experimenting with a giant siwash off the back and one belly hook as well as a pair of big 4/0's trebles on the belly of a Danny and no tail hook. Results are still pending.
Dave, I've found the infamous late August Danny bump in the night is often bluefish in addition to tiny bass.
