Mr. Wiggly's
 

You guys know of any store that has them in stock? I know stripers online has some but none in the color I want.

Joe lyons at surfcast ri, has a banner on this site.

It says they have none in stock.

you sure?

CMS in New Bedford

Goose Hummock in Orleans

I think Blackbeards has them too

Anybody have any experience with these plugs? Do they hold up to abuse?

Read BassMasters article in this months on the water. He gives them a little plug.

Nice plug, super slow retrieve. More than 1 truly large have been taken on it.Sometimes no retrieve at all.As long as you feel it thumping it is working its tail.

after daves plug on the lure you will be lucky to find any at all..

i say buy what you can get.. repaint if necessary.. will still work

the same..

Try the Hook-Up in Orleans...they used to have quite a selection as I recall!:)

plastic lip may break if you use it on rocks, they hold up well on the sand and cast remarkably well for a jointed plug. If the lip breaks, you can always make a metal lip, I have done that.

I fish them super slow, it doesn't take much of a retrieve to get it wiggling.

the bait shack in orleans has them and yup that lip does break off.

Yeah am offically a moron, Joe Lyons definetly has them in stock.:smash: and just ordering a few. I will definetly hit up a couple of those bait stores when I head down Friday afternoon

lips and eyes, both easy fixes, like slip said, cut a piece of sheet metal or sheet brass to shape, screw on. eyes will come off, don't need them , it's the throb that the fish key on, but your could just stick new eyes on.
bait shack had a good selection a week or so ago, when I was in there

I have the hard-to-find blurple and eel patterns too...
Wiggly Time

BTW - The blurple pattern has been very good on Block this year - I know there are several clubs planning forays over there....

rapala J13 will do the same thing if you cant find them things

Cabela's has the Rapalas.

What color is best?:confused:

The key to using them as mentioned above is the retrieve....really slow....I tried them once on wire line and even at 1.5 knots the action was too wild. ( I thought they might be killer down deep)
They are meant to slooooooowly move along the water.

NEEDLES
 

anyone try the mr wiggley needle. picked one up last weekend put haven't tried it yet. 1.5 oz and it floats.

black and gold
chart and silver
blue and silver

this was the lure i used off the fence and middle and other places
I use to get bones on the black and gold and the chart and silver.
it was not how fast but the throb of the rod that set the idle for these lures

Thanks

yeah, I bet you were using the smaller version(?) I was trying to troll the larger version on wire deep for a while but it was just a tad extreme I think for bass. I can see how the smaller version would be effective for bones...sort of like a high quality fastrac. (I can't stand fastracs...made like crap) One thing I found killer for bones and albies this year was rebels Sliver..it trolls 10X better then a fastrac and can take a beating.

sandman what side You trolling
I think the J13 is the nuts, its all in the throb of the right rod.
what model rebel.
I had a bone bust the tail off a fast track and I still caught the fish
the front set in the side of the fish.
I think the fish went right around 7.5 lbs or so

Oh yeah it works, it buzzes thru the water...its just junk all around, hooks, hangers, lip construction and attachment, wire... all are so light duty. 1 10# blue fish will destroy it. I am not sure of the model number.
They break all the time and I gave up on them. The sliver is much stronger IMO and works just as well.

gotta go (fishing of course)
wind is dying.
