Colors:
Every lake has its tendencies when it comes to color. Personally I like running the Solid Pink, Pink Magic, and Lady Bug. Though, I know of other fisherman that do very well on colors such as Mt. Dew, Seahawk, Hot Melon, and Double Take. However, lake tendencies have a big part in choice of color.

Rigging:
I start off with 4′ of 15 pound text fluorocarbon leader. Then I tie a size 2 pink or red hook on the end of the leader. Next, slide 2 or 3 small beads down the leader to the hook. Now tie the second hook on the leader as the picture shows. After both hooks are on the line you can now either use all beads or a sequence of beads and tubing to separate the hooks from the bait. Again, the picture shows my exact rigging. Once these are placed you run your leader up though the hook garage and out the head of the Mini Cut Plug. Tie the loose end to a barrel swivel 3′ from the head of the Mini Cut Plug. Now, just attach to your favorite dodger and off you go!

Stuffing:
There are only a couple things that I use to stuff my Mini Cut Plugs with and they have worked very well, so why change them?
1) Whatever Corn you are using for the day. 2) Ground up salad Shrimp. 3) Oil packed Tuna. 4) Garlic dough bait. I use Pautzke’s Atomic Garlic Fire Bait. Sometimes I even mix some of these for a different scent profile. The key here is to experiment. You might just find something that works better than what I use. Lastly, don’t forget to tip your hooks with either Shoe Peg Corn or the Berkley Maggots.

Running the Mini Cut Plug:
Now that you have your Mini Cut Plug rigged, baited and stuffed you’re ready to go! I run off of down riggers, so I go 40 to 60 feet back from the ball. As for speed I like to run these from 1.4 to 1.8 mph. Then I sit back and wait for the action to start with that first slammin’ strike!
