Wooden Darter in 2013

Who fished a wood Darter in 2013?
Just checking, just don't hear a lot about them in Jersey.
Always hear about Superstrike Darters in Montauk.
I know Rip-Plugger got a few bass on Superstrike Darter up in CT last year.

I like the superstrikes the best as far as wood goes I like the Tattoo darters their are many out there but I only use these two.They are a pain in the a$$ to build most builders call it darter hell.

Superstrike 2 3/8 oz darters are a perennial favorite of mine. Good casting and great for tossing out into a strong rip or big surf at night.

Here is one of rip-plugger's bass on a Superstrike. He was having a slow night this past year and gave them a shot and picked up a few bass with it.

Nice fish! I got some nice fish on magdarters. Now they are something like $22 too rich for my blood. Am trying to snipe some on e-bay for the spring. Also like the northbar bottle darters they are awesome for inlet fishing.

And even harder to get... I really lake his Dooksters,
Dannys and Pencils. Plus a great finish on his plugs.

If you add a box " No wood darter, plastic dater (super strike) but did not catch with it" then I would be able to check one off :)

Not to many people can come near the finish of a Afterhours plug!

He painted these for me. Best finish I have seen/used. One of my favorite plug builders.
