Wrap it around the looped braided line and itself, passing it under and around all 3 lines every time, until you have made 10 complete wraps

The MIKES74-4 is nestled safely within this ambiguous zone at 7'-4" and because of this, just a little extra time is required on the back cast before you swing forward to release your bait

Fishing Technique: Cast-and-Crank Retrieve Situation: Open surf, rips, or rocky contour edges where predators are tracking sand eels, squid, or silversides near the top. Effective in both calm and moderate seas when distance is needed to reach fish. Rod Angle: 1. Keep the rod tip low and pointed directly at the lure to maintain a straight, even track. 2. Raise the tip slightly when working over shoal crests or boulder pockets to keep the lure high in the column. Retrieve Motion: Steady, even crank that produces the subtle rolling wobble needlefish plugs are known for. Reel Speed: Medium, just enough to engage the wobble. Too fast and the lure loses its natural presence. Amplifier: Periodically add a quick tick surge with the rod tip to make the lure dart forward. This irregular movement can trigger a reaction strike from fish following but not committing. Tactic: Cover water with long casts across seams, contour edges, or through rips, keeping the lure in the strike zone with minimal deviation
