Squid-plug?
 

I have a trip planned for next spring. The primary forage at this spot is squid. Darters have been a go to plug the past few trips for the guys I'll be joining. When bass are keyed in on squid, what plugs do you throw?

I've done ok with a pink/silver 17A Bomber.

Darters are an old standby. Last year, off Chatham with plenty of squid nearby, Habs new squid plugs did very well and they cast a mile+

I hooked some decent fish on an Afterhours squid.

reverse amber atom

CS, good one. I totaly forgot about that plug.

Toby:

Good one !!

try one of these, fish like a pencil. guys did well on these last spring.

Tsunami rubber squid with or without an egg sinker, set up like a sluggo.

Dont forget the bucktail, for top Gags Squidzee, Surface Tension(long casters)

I had alot of luck in the spring with the Habs squid plug

IMO / A W, p, or y, bucktail or good plastic will outfish all other artificals [MOST] of the time ......

oh weally
 

what you can't spell those colors.....your makin me have to think:poke:

The squidzee casts a mile and will hug the bottom where the bigguns dwell. I heard you like to hug hairy bottoms.

Copper habs needle or a rubber squidhound.

Hab's squid plug? Which one? I've seen his squid pencil popper, squid straight popper, and squid junior swimmer.

T Lap. During our trip last spring the white SS darter , SS needle in amber seemed to be the ticket. Various colors also worked. Long casts were the key to more hits. Squidzees and loaded SS needles will be in my bag this time around!

If they're on top and the squid are on the large side, one of Mac's versions of the Norris Jet Squid could be a good choice. If they're not on top, maybe a Hab's night and gale would do the trick in white or pink?

Toby last spring SS needles and darters in amber or darters in white with a pink stripe did real well out at that place

SS stubby needle in white or amber w/feathers.

Can you still find them? I got a couple that are 30 years old and I just can't get myself to use them.

Paul, I must have 20 - 30 of them. I threw them a lot for a while, but have yet to even raise a fish on one. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Tried many different retrieves. :huh:

they work great on the back side of mo-mo-m err can't say,,but the pop-up,let rest,pop-up, rest kill's them.they alway's hit when dead floating after the pop.

White AH spookster does the trick for me.

Toby:
Back in the late 80s and early 90s they were the killer lure on the Backside. Don't know why. Like Capesam said. Let it rest and pop a couple of times. Always hit them when they were resting.

CS & Piemma, Thanks! I knew a couple of you guys would have some insight on the plug. That's probably one of the only retrieves I never tried.

I have a home-made cranberry reverse I'll have to dig out this spring..

Toby; had good luck with Howdy's in spring spots when the squid were around... just bump Bernzy's hook up a size or two on the belly... :smash: I learned the hard way.....

About 2-3 years ago I heard this plug slayed them and was the squid plug to use
