Tip
Tip: Create a trigger on the swing with mends and speed or direction changes
How to do it: Do not drift and swing at one constant speed; control the swing with mends and let a change in speed or direction trigger the eat
Mistake it fixes: Drifting and swinging at one constant speed with no movement change
Why it works: A change in speed or direction looks like a struggling or escaping insect. That trigger often causes a take that a constant drift will not.
When it matters most: Swing fishing
