Thanks for the repsonses, guys. Some good ones so far. Monty that Dookster looks pretty sad, but a beat up plug usually equals a happy fisherman.



Just wanted to add a bit about the Mag Darter...still producing bass for me even in July.....

"the Mag Darter IMO is one of the most under-rated plugs out there......I'm still catching bass this late in the season, thanks in part, to that plug....

As for the other choices, rubber should be something that no surfcaster has missing from his bag,,,,if you can't get any action at all from a pink zoom, that tells you the fish are either scattered, or not there that night....and a bucktail and pork or twister combo is, IMO, fast becomeing a lost art in NJ as a lot of guys have given up on fishing this way in favor of the "guaranteed results" of the Daiwa.... "






I kind of started this thread because of the hype over the Daiws....
Had a conversation just yesterday with one of the best fishermen I know....

he said..
"It's not the plug that catches the fish...it's the guy fishing it...."
