Over the past few seasons, the needlefish has really come into its own as the "popular" plug to use in the surf. I know there have been some faithfuls from the birth of the needlefish and its bloom in the 80's, but it really seems to have taken over the surf market lately. I will even admit to really falling in love with the needlefish for its versatility and fish catching ability in so many different sets of conditions.

So, here is my question: What plug did you use before you used the needlefish, in the places you now see as "go to" needlefish spots? I have asked this question to several fishermen this winter and I have received very similar answers, but I was suprised as to the results at first.
