Most under rated lure
 

Whats your favorite under rated not talked about.. Nothing special lure??

For me it's the cocohoe minnow in all sizes.

How about you?

not really a secret anymore but a loaded cordell pencil

Ditching a diamond jig. Even though it didn't produce for me this year I have caught many fish on them in the past. I also didn't use them much this year. It seemed like I only threw them when there wasn't much happening.

White bucktail.

Followed by pearl cocahoe.

Needlefish Hoochie. Hands down the best teaser I've ever used. They come, unrigged, in many, many color combo's and are pretty cheap.
Here is a pic of one.teaser

Ava 17

2nd the white bucktail.

dare devil spoon ;;:devil2:

black mag darter. Its overpriced but it works. Doesn't stay black long. After two fish its half black half see through. Doesn't seem to matter.

Red gill

8 inch curltail grub --on a bare jig head

Crippled Herring

golden eye super maverick... meant for muskie. I won it in a raffle... Has such an insane action!!! Would love to buy more.

Kastmaster

something about those supereye mavericks. Honestly, I haven't caught much on them...maybe I just don't use them as my go to plugs, but they cast and swim great. Acutally, I think putting larger hooks on helps the action, as they come with 2/0s out of the package and seem to have too much wobble.

for me it's the rigged EEEEEEEEEL~~~

half bait/half lure; and once you get down THE retrieve

THEY are absolute fish finders and TAKERS!!!

i also like the recycleable factor of my used live eels.
:grins: :grins: :grins:

Agreed. Under-rated and much more versatile than many people realize.

I ,2 agree with Kastmaster but u gotta retrieve it properly , I can't always let it drop 2 faST AND GET HUNG UP where I fish

CAN YA TELL i'M NOT FISHING ANYMORE THIS SEASON
ml:buds:

Bombers or cordell cottons

My FREE sebile lure from OTW! Did I mention FREE! Swim shad.

Gold Rolex.

yup. never really caught anything too big on em they're great for distance and perfect blue fish killer

Another is my beat to hell atom blue and white polaris. casts like a mother, slow sinking. and you can fish it 3 ways: on top popping, v wake side to side motion, or let it get deep.

Bill & Jules Teaser and I can have anything following it. :uhuh:

How is a kastmaster underated? It's the gold standard in metal. Only reason I don't fish them is that I like thr p.j. Bros so much. Kastmasters are like bombers. You gotta have a few. Everybody does.

To me the tattoo large swimmer is underated. Greatplug and easy to get.

nothing under rated about sebile magic swimmer, rigged eel, red fins, kastmasters... They are known producers that get mentioned all the time... I think the topic was what lure do you use that produces, but never gets mentioned in books, articles, etc... the unsung heros of the surf. If anything, the sebile was so OVER hyped this year I never used the free one I got from on the water... Hype makes me not want to use particular lures...

5" Mambo Minnow

You are correct!

I like salthearts choice. The ol grub and jig combo is a quiet killer

after the above reads~~~

i MUST purpose myself to jig&pig, jig&grub, & bucktailjiggit

much more for the 2011 campaign,,,,,,,,,,,,,right situation, i'm prolly missing sum bigguns by not making it an integral part of the offering rotation. John Skinner from around MTK swears by them!! i would suppose that they're Canal Killers as well?

think i'll go old school and use THICK sliced HICKORY bacon as a streamer. excellent thread,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks for the reminders!!!
:cool: :cool: :cool:

Poppers

...the reverse atom, I wish someone would duplicate that plug !!

Plugs that aren't on everyone's radar but that I have faith in and carry are P-Line 4oz Diamond jigs and Silver/Black back Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencils.

..

4 oz chrome ranger. :fishin:

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.

bucktail jig

The F30 and F40 Rebel Minnows. You'd be hard pressed to find a shop that carries them now. Still great fish catchers. Actually almost every plastic plug under $10 is overlooked nowadays. I work in a shop and you should see the looks I get when I recommend a $6.00 dollar redfin. They think I'm trying to sell them junk. Everyone wants the high priced wood. 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 had a lot of success on the 1oz Gibbs Casting Swimmer this year. Some nitghts it was the only plug that worked, and it even outfished live eels. The 1 oz. version also casts great for a small plug and runs about $13.

Rapala skitter pop in size 9, best spring topwater plug I've ever used. Leopard frog pattern is the number one producer.

Krocodile spoon, love the action and cheap, cast great.

Phobee goldfish, excellent on spring schoolies and white perch.

Great lure for Gooseberry :grins:

Because 95% of the people who use them only fish them during the day, on a cast and crank retireve. They're as effective as a Crippled Herring when jigged in the Canal, and they're more durable, with better hooks. Day or night ;)
