No, rigged eels are the same as yo-yo'd pogies.... they're bait, not plugs.......:fishslap:....:fishslap:....:fishslap: ....:fishslap:....:fishslap:

Quantity of fish is was probably a tie with old AH bone colored spook and a PtJude nautilus. Size it was an AH 10"white needle. Also, a yellowish danny from MikeCC killed em in the canal.

even tie between a BM atom Jr. in yellow and one of my Danny plugs in yellow.

EELS... But I tend to think that whatever lure you have in the water most often is your top producer... I think that if you caught a bass on "X" lure that if you dragged "Y" in front of it the fish would also strike... I think the fish was caught because it was THERE, and it wouldnt care if it was a needle or a redfin... in many cases at least. But how the heck should I know, or quite honestly ANY of us really know... WE"RE NOT BASS!!!

au contraire, mon frere!!

i will respectfully differ,,,,,,,,,,,,

riggies are the best of both BAIT

AND LURE,

a sort of hybrid since

it is bait that can be fished like a lure, or
is it a lure that can be fished like bait???
:bl: :bl: :bl: :bl:

same-same for an eeelskin plug, ne c'est pas?
once you affix hooks to it and "rig" it like a Sluggo
you've made it a lure, imho, and a MOST effective one at that!!
:kewl: :kewl: :kewl:

I always do well with bucktail jigs, 4 ounce mr.pogie usually
I did well on a number of other lures = my own pencil, jigman spook, howdy, leadhead and bubblegum sluggo, ledgerunner rubba. I hope I get to fish more next year.

Choopy needlefish in eel, worked night and day. Some how this plug will find bass in the middle of blues during early morning and evening blitz.

Well, this thread proves bass will eat just about anything that moves in the water.

7" Bone Hogy. I caught more fish than ever this year and 90% of them were on the Hogy rigged texas style.

I have done better with my rubber(got stryper) than anything else all season. At the start of the season I got rid of every other soft plastic on my boat, other than my own and have had my best season to date. From top water bass, tuna, jigging on light tackle in the rip, jigging for tuna, albies.

CC Pencil Popper 5"

Live Bunker - not much beats it :D

Those are going in my bag for next year and will be used in a very particular place. I ran into one of the OTW editors while fishing one morning and he was doing a job on the fish:fishin: with the same rig you mention. I think he had the 9" version though.

So Far :
BM Atom Jr - PINK
Surf Asylum HammerHead - Yellow
Yo-Zuri MagDarter - Ghost now Clear

Still plenty of time and opportunities down here in Jersey for that to change >
Will Update in December.....

He was probably using either the 10" original or the 10" double wide. The double wides cast like crazy and have a huge profile for larger fish. The double wide is my second favorite Hogy. Good Luck

Actually I really didn't consider rubber, for some reason I thought it was a "plug" post. Alan's rubber is unbelievable. It killed in the rips off Chatham, in Boston Harbor and was deadly this October for me in the canal. I have witnesses where it just plain crushed other rubber. The bass get pissed off at the mere sight of it. I would seriously consider picking some of his stuff up for a test run at your favorite spot. I don't do as much tuna fishing as a few guys on here, but I know the tuna love it too.

Pt.Jude Po-Jee,Salty's 1.25oz olive/white popper.

BF's pencil I won at the Hab's raffle gets an honorable mention.Just didn't get much time to fish it.

I wish I had more time to fish this year but Dad was obviously a priority.
