Tune Plugs and Hook Up More

Salmon and steelhead plug fishing has been and remains popular for intercepting and hooking salmon and steelhead. Whether you're fishing a stationary position or back-trolling in a river current - a properly tuned plug is ESSENTIAL to maximizing your odds while plug fishing.

You want plugs that run well at all the speeds you're going to use them in.
