The generosity of others never ceases to amaze me!
Surfstix heard that I love throwing needles in the fall. He sent me 2 custom needles for Pebbles and I. He also threw in a few of these hand tied flys.

His skill set is way up there now...
the level of detail and the way these swim, they're just awesome and the perfect presentation for fall forage fish.
Thanks so much, bro, hope to have some fish hangin on em soon! :clapping: :HappyWave:

What is most compelling to me,,,is that despite all the health and other problems he has had in the last 3 years, he is still able to make these great plugs and teasers....and most generous in sending them on to be tested by the jaws of death, aggressive bass and angry bluefish.....:drool:
Finally got time to post the pics.....
thanks again Surfstix! :thumbsup: :HappyWave:
Hope Pebbles and I can beat some of these up by showing the "after" pics......

These are the "before" pics....
the 2 above are shots of the biggest pencil I've seen in a while...this pencil I think weighs in at 4.5oz......:cool:
The teaser below is one of Surfstix's hand-made teasers.
He's been making them for awhile now and the craftsmanship really shows......:thumbsup:
(Note the good quality epoxy heads on the teasers/tails and the heavy duty split rings......)
Some of Rip Plugger's plugs, and the ones Surfstix has sent me, are usually dressed up now with these teasers at the end.
They make a real difference in getting a fish to hit when they are sluggish or the water is colder.

Thanks again Surfstix! :HappyWave:
Surfstix' Teasers and the fish they catch.......
Over the years I have known Surfstix., he's been very generous with his teasers......:thumbsup:
More and more of the guys on the site who are building plugs, are using his teasers or bucktail dressed siwashes to dress up the tails of their plugs.....
I was thinking about this and a few things occurred to me.........
1. He makes some awesome teasers.
2. He only makes a few at a time.
3. With not many of his teasers in the hands of surf guys, most don't know how nice they are....:drool:
4. Since Surfstix has some serious health issues....he can't get out there and fish at this point in time ...it's possible he will live his whole life, without folks out there ever knowing about his work....
5. Him being a Crabby Old Basstard (COB) probably ensures that, too. :ROFLMAO :HappyWave:
Re: Surfstix' Teasers and the fish they catch.......
I realized that most fishermen out there, only get stimulated to think about a plug as "proven fish catcher"...when they are hanging in the mouth of a fish....:learn:
I'm posting this for anyone who is lucky enough to have one of his teasers, and wants to post pics of fish they got on them.
Re: Surfstix' Teasers and the fish they catch.......
There is already a thread here about his plugs......
http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...ish-They-Catch
Anyone else who catches fish on his teasers,,,,feel free to post the pics here......:thumbsup:
Re: Surfstix' Teasers and the fish they catch.......
Nice fish there guys. Question would you want to use teasers when the blues come in the bay or will they just destroy them?
Re: Surfstix' Teasers and the fish they catch.......
They will tear them up, but that just proves they like it.The teasers drawback is when they nail it and bite through your leader and you lose your plug with it but they work well.

Re: Surfstix' Teasers and the fish they catch.......
^ I copied the above post from the ones where speedy shows his latest plugs.....:drool:
http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...?8923-new-ones
It seems that a lot of plugs around here are now being built with Surfstix' teasers and tails.......
We will eventually start hanging fish on them. As it's still cold out and not many fish are active, you'll have to be content to just look at the good-looking teasers for now.....
stay tuned........:HappyWave:

Surfstix' Teasers and the fish they catch.......
I think I post a thread about teasers each year....time for Teasers 2013 :headbang:
How about posting thoughts and experiences on fishing teasers? Like them, hate them, why? Don’t need them? Biggest fish on a teaser, like doubles, don’t like doubles? Favorite teasers, favorite teaser rigs.
The past year I tried to cut down on the amount of time I fished with teasers, to see if I noticed any difference in fish caught. So I think I fished 50% with them compared with the past few years at least 75% of the time. Looking back at the year fishing with teasers increased the Stripers caught.
One night I met up with Dark and Mike O this past year, we caught a few Bass, they seemed to only want black teasers a certain size.
For teasers I use Deceivers and the small rubber tails for Avas.
If there are blues around I take the teaser off, but I have had times when it seems the teaser is all a blue would want. Here is an Island Beach Blue that hit a green/white teaser late May this past year. It was the biggest of the morning.
