Description

Cedar plugs are among the most effective lures for fish feeding on small baitfish. Cedar plugs are used offshore and are designed to mimic small baitfish. Troll them and rig with a single hook or a tandem hook rig to increase the strike odds. They dart when trolled, not unlike walk-the-dog-style surface plugs. Their wild action and diminutive size make them attractive and easy-to-consume targets.
