Jamie you're right about Dexters and you'll find that they're great for catching Trout too!

had loads of gurnard on them! just bump it along the bottom
even better if baited with a little macky strip!

gota say you can keep your expensive rappalas! (tho they obviously have ther place) for me its the dexy
had pollock gar macky bass gurnard on them, i also think the weight
of them helps the hook up aswell as being durable and easy to cast distance
and u dont brake your hart when they get snagged as ther so cheap!
ther simplicity is ther beuty!

viva la dexter wedge!

Helpful Hint with dexter Wedges: After a few sessions the holographic Tape gets battered and worn. I bought a sheet from an online Auction site for not a lot of money and it will probably refresh about two thousand Dexter wedges - Its the proper Dexter Holograph Stuff!!! Then your Wedges will keep catching and you won't have to replace them because your catch rate drops!!!!

OK I know this is a thick question but is there a technique to reeling in a dexter wedge - do you reel in slow, quick, sink and draw? I usually try everything but I was just wondering if there is a proper way to do it.

depends what ground you are fishing i guess.. in a good surf, a nice steady retreve, tip up. then fishing a deep peinisular or rocky outcrop i like to throw it as far as i can, steady retreve then pause and allow to sink a little.. steady retreve, sink a little, and on. this method allows me to probe the various depths (next cast followed with a steady retreve to check the water infront of me) and by watching the angle of the line, allows me to follow the profile of the rock outcrop im standing on. i find this deadly for quarrys or deep sea defences where predators wait in ambush holes.

its a bit of personal choice as some say a gentle retreve will have as many takes as a twitched lure. with holographics, i do like to give the rod a sideways, or upwards twitch every now and then to throw the light/flash of the lure deeper.

my way of tought is based on holo lures, plugs ect require a different skill and practice to immitate plunging/wounded/injured fish. something i learn day-by day.

as with most forms of fishing, hunting ect.. if what you are doing is having no effect for say 20-30 mins.. change style, tactic and/or color.

a simple switch can have an amazing result in a good day, or not so good....
