^^^That deep diving bunker is that the black one to the right? Sweet! About how deep would you say it dives?

Theres that color again.

those are made by this young kid I met on the other site.

he is going to college in Ct and he is from jersey.this is will be his second year surf fishing.
I'd say he is off to a great start.
I hope it swims nice,it should by my keen eyes,looks like it will do well.

He is off to a good start.

yes,that color is something I don't see any of the big guy builders doing,they seem to be doing too many scale patterns and such.
there is something about orange/yellow that makes one want to fish it.

[surfstix1963]

It works that's a good enough reason for me.

^^^^^Yellow is a favorite color of mine I'm not sure but believe its up there in the visibility scale similar to chartreuse. I like to cast yellow plugs at dawn and dusk. As for the orange I like it too but for me it attracts a lot of bluefish. That can be fun, just my observations. Nice work gents keep em coming.

[surfstix1963]

As silly as it may sound I find putting the orange on the bottom and sides does attract more blues but the yellow on bottom seems to even the score some.I also blend my yellows with opaque and transparent airbrush paints.I also have another little secret by fogging in some gold over the yellow.

When I first started surf fishing one bright sunny hot morning I wasn't catching anything, a guy I met that morning fishing told me that there are a few big blues around.
Cast a bright plug, make a big commotion with it and these big blues will get pissed off and clobber that plug. He liked bright orange.
It works, at times out of nowhere a Gator will explode all over these plugs.
Its my favorite color on bright days for finding blues.

you are indeed correct,I believe it is a combination of green and yellow to make chartreuse.
