On-the-water tips: Although Weasels can be cast and retrieved, either up near the surface at a decent clip or allowed to flutter down and then be jiggled back along the seafloor, they work best when yo-yoed on the drift. To get increased time jigging them at their most effective angle - as vertically as possible beneath the boat - lob them up ahead of the boat’s drift direction, then allow them to sink to the bottom, staying alert for any mid-water line jiggles or slackenings that indicate bites. Once on the bottom, simply lift/jiggle the lure upwards so it can flutter back down. Repeat and repeat again until you hook-up or the angle on the line becomes too horizontal (i.e. 45-degrees max.). Redeploy. Deadly. That’s why so many shops stock them and why so many anglers love using them
