Well let's see....... Hmmmm. I would have to say that Bernzy's Surf Howdy in yellow was my "plug of the year" no question but I like it best when employed from a drifting boat along rocky shorelines such as Fisher's Island NY or the Elizabeth Islands of MA. In the Surf it was the needlefish and there were several that I used, the best producers being Bassmaster, Habs, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and Gibbs. For plastic it was the Yozuri Mag-Minnow. In the Canal it was the old reliable 3 oz. White Bucktail Jig with a pearl white 6" Sluggo as the trailer in place of the rind. As for rubber it was a six inch Pond Shiner Sluggo on a 5/0 Texposer hook. I guess it came down to time and place for this honor. You need a whole selection of stuff to get through!
