[Captain Rich]

I fish them when there are too many bluefish around to fish umbrella shad rigs or when we want to fish braid instead of wire. I catch a lot of stripers on them. I find the old style Stretchs catch more than the new ones. Some stretches never catch a fish, others are great, I guess its how they run or sound when they are fished. Again that may go back to the old vs. the new production. I know that daytime midsummer, when the bluefish are deep and won't take jigs or bait, I can troll them up on stretches. It may not be the most sporting, but when my customers want to tug on fish, this works.
