| To get a more erratic
action from your Tomic Plug at slower speeds, you can use an elastic
band with a bead chain.
 Put
an elastic band on the plug, to the tail side of the tow bar. Add
a bead chain on your leader before the lure. Put the bead chain
under the elastic band. You can vary how much to pull the leader
back by which beads the elastic band fits into. The farther back
the leader is pulled, the more action the plug will have. Make sure
that the leader is centered. Note that 3/8 or 1/2 inch surgical
tubing, cut thin, makes an excellent elastic band for this application.
This method is great if you are using different types of tackle
at the same time, which have to be trolled at slower speeds, as
plugs are normally fished above 2 knots. It’s also very effective
when trolling in areas where there is a lot of bait.
