cordell redfin fishing lure Cotton Red Fin - Chrome/Blue Back Vintage 5”Cotton Cordell Red Fin

Fish-the-Swing Retrieve Situation: Productive in strong tidal currents, inlets, or rip lines where predators stage off seams, contour edges, or drop-offs. Effective when stripers, blues, or tuna are holding in ambush positions rather than chasing fast-moving bait. Rod Angle: 1. Cast cross-current or slightly up tide and hold the rod tip at a 10 oclock angle to manage line belly. 2. Drop the tip slowly as the plug swings down current to keep tension without pulling it out of the drift. Retrieve Motion: Let the current carry the plug in a natural arc, with minimal rod input. Add slight twitches to give the needle subtle darting life during the swing. Reel Speed: Very slow, just enough to pick up slack and stay connected. Most of the action comes from the current pushing the lure across the seam. Tactic: This hybrid dead-drift swing keeps the plug tracking naturally like a stunned sand eel or squid sliding with the tide. Deadly when predators are holding deep in current lanes or waiting at the base of a rip
