| Has anyone ever tried burning Bulldawgs the way you'd burn a buck tail during the warm summer months? I tried straight straight retrieving a Bulldawg for the first time the other day and I blazed it back to the boat a couple of times without it rolling. Just curious if anybody has ever tried this and if you've ever experienced success doing it. |

Location: mercer wi | I usually just straight crank in Dawgs works better and less fatigueing then ripping the crap out of them. Usually varying speed.

Location: E. Tenn | I would imagine you'd lose a lot of tails from nippers, and near misses.. Give it a try, and let us know how it works.. I might even try it on upcoming outings.. |

Location: Seymour, WI | I'm not a great dawg fisherman, but I normally straight crank them, only snap them if I hit a weed. Has been a productive technique for me. |

| Personally I don't because the pause is critical in triggering strikes. Virtually every fish I've caught on dawgs or hardheads have come on the pause or the moment the bait starts to move again. That being said, I know others guys that do have success straight retrieving them. |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | I've caught a lot of fish straight retrieving dawgs from reg size to pounder and from crawl speed to burning. Burning them where you would normally fish a bucktail can be a great method especially when the fish can see if from a long distance. They normally inhale the whole thing from the back and you'll usually feel nothing but slack as they push the bait toward you. |
