Tlap, I consider my Dad an old timer, his big days in the surf were mid-80s to mid-90s. My Dad is anti-plug, he beleives in live eels or jigs (bucktails or shad body) He never used needlefish. When he did use plugs there was only one. His primary plug which he swears by is a scale finish with chrome redfin. Most of his are so beat from the fish and rocks, they barely have any finish left on them. He injected them with water to weight them down. He has caught more fish on those than any other plug. When I show him all my wood plugs, he says goes into a big rant on how I'm wasting my money.
