    What is the best Plug-Knocker you have made?

    I know there are some on the market, but I know some of you have made your own that works well. I have one of the poll types and one that clamps on your line, but the best one I have made myself that is a 2 oz round sinker with small brass chains on 70 lb spider wire.

    Re: What is the best Plug-Knocker you have made?

    The one I made was with a metal pipe, about 1.5 inch diameter. I cut the pipe about 6 inches long, filled it with concrete with 3 chains set in the concrete coming out one end of the pipe. It attachs to the fishing line with a swivel, also set in the concrete and coming out the same end as the chains. Coming out of the other end I have a thick line tie (also set in concrete) and this attachs to my marker buoy line. So it kind of serves two purposes. Works wonders on retrieving crankbaits. I just impressed a buddy the other day when I saved his favorite Norman Tennessee shad.

    2 oz. sinker and big snap swivel. Get directly over the snag, snap swivel the sinker to your line and drop it right on top of your bait. Jig it a few times... About 95% of the time you'll get it back.

    This isn't very fancy but it's quick and cheap if you lose it.

    I generally have my wife swim down and unhook it but when she isn't with me I use the old lead hounddog

    I use the same thing. Even tried some bigger sinkers that work just as well. I tried the fancy stuff and poles but nothing has worked as well as these.
