What a crock...Numby was a bait fisherman way back and probably still is when nobody is looking...:devil:

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.

Those of you who think the bucktail is under rated have never been to Montauk.

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.

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'll second the Chrome one,cheap very afective and even the seagulls like them:nailem:

By looking at all these posts what may be under rated for one, may be the go to for anouther. What is the definition of under rated? In the context of this thread. Dont cut and paste Websters dictionary.

Stuff like Kastmasters, original Atom Jrs, Redfins, Hopkins, Rebels, and so on.
