Hopkins shortee is a pretty darn good tin. I have another tin that i love its called an Abu Coster, its old, i got it out of grandpas tackle box a long time ago and it flat out catches fish.

I don't even think I saw one in use this year at the canal. We used to crush the fish in the canal on them. The 4oz model casts like a bullet, stays on top, and is virtually indestructable. You can also get the all white and put a mackerel paint job on it. Pretty sure they cost less than $15 too.

I had one in my bag in the spring. The mackeral paint job is pretty sad, but the profile is pretty close. Had a few hours of fun with it and a few decent fish. Best part is when you launch a long cast you can pick up another 15-20ft with the "Roberts Skip" when it hits the surface.:grins:

Hopkins No-eql is way underrated during the last 20 years or so.

I am a bit of a "closet" kastmaster junkie. Nice to know I am not as alone as I previously thought!

2 oz. Atom Shag N Shad

Deadly with sand eels around...no need to really have that much technique, being slim and light, the chaos of the waves makes it look erratic on its own. On a nice day let it make some pounds into the sand and kaboom

The Atom metal lip....They would cast terrible.Allways broke in the middle.If you left it in your truck on a hot summer day it would become mishaped,and they caught.It used to be the only top water swimmer I would cast.I loved the red/yellow and mackeral.Definitley an underated plug these days.

I havn't fished one in years.I think I will try one again next season....Beef up the hardware first.

Most under rated lure

Lots of chum in the water.
Once plenty of dogfish show up, some kind of under water explosive !

I agree. Bucktail is far from under rated. I don't know anyone who would hit the beach without at least a few bucktails.

Don't know how underrated it is but George, NS, has sold me on the Flaptail. I am addicted to this plug. Had an older gentleman on the canal this year ask me I was fishing a flaptail . He was thrilled to see someone using a plug he used to use a lot back in the olden days. No it wasn't Capesams:)

White Uppermn style bucktail.... not only will it catch bass or blues day or night surf ,boat or jetty.. it works for just about any fish that swims and eats meat....

Not sure how underrated it is, but I'm a fan of the loaded Rebel Jumpin' Minnow, preferably bone colored.

True. I live down the steet from NS; I suspect he stops in to my driveway on the way down to his boat and grabs a few eels. I'm always counting up short...

Try using your fingers next time you count. Keeping track of large numbers (like 3 or 4) can get hard for people your age.

Tattoo seapup as well. Underrated for it versatility. consistantly catches a wide variety of fish, in many different conditions depending on how you fish it.

True story. My buddy and I were watching bait busting all over the place and every couple of minutes, fish would crash them. We couldn't tell what the bait was, so my buddy puts on the weighted treble and throws it into the middle of the school of bait. He didn't snag any bait fish, but hooked a bass perfectly in the corner of the mouth as if it was a lure.

I have had great luck the past few seasons with the Tony Accetta No. 14 spoon in chrome with yellow feather. Everything from schoolies to a 25 lb'er. Also blues, shad, and even 4 fluke in the flats of the Narrow River this year, just bumping it along the bottom. Great versatile lure! Simple yet very effective.

But plastic is making a comeback! Superstrike, Northbar, etc.

I am surprised no one ever talks about the old storm shallow macs those are great cheap plastic plugs that catch a ton of fish. They cast well for there size too.

Well plan on stopping by my booth at the MSBA show, I'm back in business and will have a good supply of my 8" grubs. I know you and your canal friends like the 7" split tail in the canal, along with the 13" MegaJerks. You won't find good plastic at the prices I'll have at the show.

1/2 oz. kalin ulimate jig head with a 4" split tail in olive glitter, every spring when the bass are slurping, nothing puts them in the boat faster. I'd second Saltheart on the 8" grub, on a 1-1/2oz jig head you can work a lot of the water column, good changeup for me when I get weary of jigging and want to switch to a conventional to give my right arm a rest.
