The RONZ is quickly becoming a favorite among surf and shore fishermen. The selection of sizes and weights seem to keep everyone happy. From the light finesse fishing to heavy surf casting there is a RONZ that will work. I'm not quite sure if there is one single bait that is as versatile as the RONZ. Changing head weights allow you to fish the RONZ in any water condition. From the shallowest flats to the deepest channels you'll be able to present the fish with a very life-like bait. Don't worry about distance on the cast with the RONZ it will cut thru head winds like a arrow. The single hook will aid in not catching weeds and debris. With the point of the hook facing upward it allows the angler to slide the RONZ along or close to the bottom without hanging up. This is a very effective technique both during night and day. All species of fish spend a large amount of time prowling the bottom of the ocean for food. It's a good place for your bait to be when there no sign of surface activity. With the RONZ you can keep fishing even when you want to have a sandwich. Simply cast it and put the rod in a holder. The RONZ will lay on it's side when on the bottom and the tail will lift up and move with every water movement. It looks just like a sand eel feeding in the sand. Drop one at your feet and see for yourself. I can't take credit for this technique is was discovered by a angler who was talking on his cell phone to his boss. Chances are he was suppose to be working. He said the rod was almost torn from under his arm and when it was over a nice 30lb striped bass laid at his feet. There's quite a few sand eel fishermen that use the tail when the fleas and crabs are real bad. They say the 6" tails work great and the bass eat them like sand eels. I'm not sure if I would substitute them for fresh sand eels. But it's nice to know they will work if you run out of bait or don't have any and want to fish a dead stick.
I found that a gentle steady slow to med retrieve works the best. This gives the fish more time to see and strike the bait before it reaches the shore. Fish this bait until you lift it out of the water. Bass will take this one at your feet. I tend not to spend as much time on the beach as before the seal population got out of hand. Most of my fishing is from boat. Please share any new shore and casting techniques you discover fishing the RONZ with me and if I use them on the site I'll send you some baits.
