MH4 polycarbonate needle

[madcaster]

this needle will not crack ,
this stuff is tuff
very hard to make with this plastic .
I will test the hell out of it in a few weeks

[DarkSkies]

Countdown to the test....looking forward to a good Spring bluefish bite......see ya out there, Madaster....

[storminsteve]

I can't wait for the bluefish either. madcast good luck with the plug

[rockhopper]

The way you have the eye set up it could also be a squid imitation. nice work

[finchaser]

Saw this ^^^^today looked great keep up the testing pratice makes perfect

[DarkSkies]

Over the years I have known Madcaster, he's been very generous with his plugs and the things he creates......
He not only makes plugs, but is kind of like a mad scientist with all the different things he comes up with.........

**Note, the above pic is only a slight resemblance to what Madcaster really looks like.....

[DarkSkies]

I was thinking about this and a few things occurred to me.........


1. He makes some interesting plugs.
2. He only makes a few at a time.
3. With not many of his plugs in the hands of surf guys, most don't know how effective they are....
4. Madcaster has his priorities all screwed up........he would rather work hard, and spend quality time with his family..than fish...... (what a strange concept...)
5. Therefore, he can't get out there and fish much ...it's possible he will live his whole life, without many folks out there ever knowing about his work....
6. Him being a family man, and half a goog...... probably ensures that, too.

[DarkSkies]

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....

I'm posting this for anyone who is lucky enough to have one of his plugs, and wants to post pics of fish they got on them.

[DarkSkies]

There are many threads where he showcases his plugs......

** Just thought there should be one main thread here...with his plugs hanging out of fish's mouths...so if ya do catch some with his plugs...feel free to post up, here.......

spring time I fish 90 % with stubby needles with color tails ,,,,10 % metal
but these are blues and the spring run ....dam near anything will do . I use a crome spoon one day and caugh blues .
stubby needle lets me unhook the fish faster
I stood next to a guy with a popper and he had trebles on the tail and belly. I would catch 3 fish ,while he unhooked one blue

[buckethead]

^^^ Right-0, Single tail hooks are a good idea when the blues are blitzing. You can enjoy the fight, unhook your fish, and get back into the game more quickly.

Thank you Matt!! They cast like a Rocket

[madcaster]

Thank you for throwing it ....and posting the pic

[DarkSkies]

Pebbles and I had a blast catching those blues....some slightly larger than 10#, bigger than they have been. We didn't do as well as you site sharpies....but combined for a total of 21......

The great thing about the action is it's the first time this year, that I have seen real aggressive topwater action like that.....
*The blues tore the hell out of Surfstix' Popper.... (which made her sad, she wants me to ask Surfstix to paint it again....custom pink popper he made for her got bashed to pieces... )




**Also hit aggressively on the Madcaster needle with bucktail siwash......

I didn't think to bring more poppers this trip.
As for me, it just has not happened with that topwater action, save for a few isolated dawn incidences.......the water temps jumping up and different size blues now here may have ramped up that action a bit......

Had a great time sharing stories and busting each other.

For us...the bigger blues seemed concentrated around sunrise....smaller ones with an occasional larger one thrown in, later on.
In all it was a blast....good times, good people...and hilarious ball busting.....
Even Pebbles joined in to make fun of me about always watching birds, geese, and swans.....
thanks for that, guys.....all good....

I rarely enjoy fishing with anyone other than myself lately...but some good times were had today.,....wish the OGB could have been out there with us....
And thanks for the laughs and your company, all...

[DarkSkies]

Bluefish really liked madcaster's needlefish the other day, pics to follow.

[Monty]

A few for me the last two weeks, a couple of pics.
They cast like rockets, thanks MC.

[cowherder]

Awesome pics guys thanks for sharing! I hope they still stick around. MC nice plugs.
