1: large 3-4 oz sub surface swimming plug (lots to choose from)
2: 10" sinking needle
3: floating Plastic minnow a la Xrap
4: darter ala tatoo style
5: metal lipped surface swimmer 2.5-3 oz(lots to choose from)


(I overload my 5 slot bag)
6: Big surf howdy
7: my 3.2 oz floating mag-weight minnow with hinged lip :)
8: A large squid-like swimming plug
9: ronZ with custom head(s) of different buoyancy/weights
10: several buck-tails 2-4 oz and several 2-4 oz tins

If I had any room left I would tuck in a spare needle of different color and a few storm shad.

It is impossible for me to go down to the beach with the small bag with one plug in each slot, I can't do it. I have tried. I take the small bag, but I always max it out.

I always hated these type threads How does one only pick 5..
If I have to pick only 5 i will say Five eel hooks..
'No, four eels hooks and a rigged eel..:jester:

!!PRECISELY!! and entirely my point, earlier!

i have a hard time narrowing down to five per:
stage in tide, time of fishing window, amt of current,
wind speed and direction, and time of year,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i get it, that you are asking which five are peoples' go-to's.

still, it seems counter productive to me and narrow minded
when being proficient at working many types of LURES, in ALL
fishuations is where i'm looking to take my GAME.
broadening rather than narrowing, my friend,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

hence, an arsenal that would give most pause~~~~
although, i think that the sandman's list is in the right vein.
why else would there be so many pluggs/AYC mfg's???

funny stuff NIB, as my first two choices would've been riggies and sluggos also,
depending on THE where and THE when.

I understand that no one fishes just 5 plugs. The purpose of the thread was just to see and compare what works for others. I just think its intresting that there are so many different plugs and colors that work for ppl. The thread was just a question thats all, no big deal, if you didnt like it then dont waste ur time answering it. I also picked 5 because half the time when im fishing a tide there are only 4 to 6 that work for at tha time.

woah, silver!

just having sum fun with NIB,
not trying to offend anyone.

my apologies iffin i was overbearing
with my response,,,,,,,,,i get THAT, alot!

it's too close to SPRING to
stoke the flames, just mho earlier.
THAT! and i've been laid off for entirely tooo long!
:bl: :bl: :bl: :bl: :bl:

BassDawg no apology needed. I didnt mean to come off like a d*** and also ment to put a smile after the wasting ur time part. I am not looking to burn bridges around here, insted i am looking for quality advice coming from ppl like you and maybe a fishing buddy once and a while. I am the type of guy that shuts up and listens because i have not been around the game long enough to have any say. I also feel ur pain in being layed off. Next Friday is my last day on the job and I graduate in May...Sucks
:cheers:

AMEN, and i'm sorry to hear about the job sitch.
for me it's the nature of the beast ~being a Union Ironworker.
still, it's mighty SLOW out there in the Trades Industry,,,,,,,,,,,,

i'm still learning from the wily veterans as well,
dunno much~~ prolly better at sharing what NOT to do.

perhaps we can hit the NShore together,

got KORKERS and eeeeeeeels?
:hihi: :hihi: :cheers: :hihi: :hihi:

OOOPS, just saw that yer down Rhody way!

LOVE the whole WKPG area,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
SoCo is one of my favorite haunts should gas prices HOLD.
sea ya at The HABS Fall Classic? good Tourney, great surfcasters!

got some korkers and know where to get eels. I will hopefully be around for the fall classic. What NShore are you talking about?

Hey, don't feel bad BD - I was going to list eels in positions 1 thru 5...:hihi:

Figured I'd play it according to Hoyle to avoid my natural tendency to be a wiseguy...

That's why they don't send donkeys to college, ya know

'Cause absolutely nobody likes a smart-ass...:hihi:

:agree: :agree: :agree:

BassDawg- might possible be working in boston after this job so maybe some nights after work. i will let you know if i do or ever head up that way.

make sure none of them contain lead

you'll be an enviroterrorist

Kastmaster, blue/chrome w/white bucktail, 1 1/2oz.
5" Mambo Minnow olive/silver
Canal Special, Yellow/cream
Jiggy Spook
Little Jake fat danny solid black

If there were no other plugs,and I was fishing for food, I'd pick these. Thank God there are more. And eels:hihi:
