Crippled Herrings/Kastmasters
 

Anybody out there having as much success with these two lures as I am?Don't see much mention of them here on this board.
Killed'em this morn on 1oz blue/crome Kastmaster.Got about 2 doz. fat schoolies.So close to keeper size,any day now.

WERE ARE YOU GETTING THEM IS IT A SECRET YOU ARE KILLING ME WITH THESE REPORTS I HAVE 4 NEW KASTEMASTER AND THEY HAVENT EVEN BEEN IN THE WATER

The kastmaster is a great schoolie lure especially because it has a single hook which makes releasing them easy. I have a friend who caught a 39# striper on one from shore.

Kastmasters & Hopkins are great (I don't use many CHs - just haven't cause you can't use EVERYTHING) but I use them in certain situations and probably not as often as I should. But's it's also tough to compete with ALL of the different plugs / lures / plastics / live baits / flies / yada yada yada...

I bought a tin set a few years back and love 'em. some are based on old designs that were in limbo for years and they were re-introduced....:btu:

Surf,
I fish all over the Newport area but mostly Sachuest pt..the Drive
and I really like the Mt.hope bay area(cuz that's where I live!)especialy around the salt ponds and marshes.You're close being in Fall Riv.
As far as schoolie lures go you can't beat'em.And I caught al my early season keepers on Kastmasters last year,so lets hope for a repeat!
