On The Water: Fishing with Line-Through Swimbaits
Line-through swimbaits are gaining attention among Northeast saltwater anglers. These soft plastics feature a molded channel for the line, allowing the bait to slide away from the fish when hooked, reducing damage and improving the hookup-to-landing ratio, especially with species like snook and tarpon.

They come in various sizes and tail designs, each offering different actions to attract fish. Anglers can use varied retrieval techniques to target specific depths and improve their catch rates.
