Got Stripers hardware lands the fish!
Got Stripers,
I just got off the water, and I have to thank you again! The spiral hooks you showed me made all the difference in the world tonight, for the first time.
We were throwing up into rocky shallow water, (something I don't normally do often) and regular jigs were doing the nose-dive thing. Caught fish, but not great. Thought about the conditions being almost exactly like yours, so I put on one of your hooks with the plastic I normally use, and POW POW POW! They were now gobbling the 7-inchers!
Turns out, when on those hooks, these lures sink in a big spiral just like your plastic. Surprising to me, as the shape is so different. I was kicking myself for not having your rubba on the boat with me, but it was really OK in the end. I'm saving them for the shallow fishing when the big fish come back, and we were catching as fast as possible anyway. They would have simply been wasted on schoolies and bluefish.
Just wanted to thank you again for the new (to me) trick. Will remember you every time I'm in shallow water. Hopefully, next time you are in deep, swift water, you will give the ones I gave you a shot, and they will work as well for you.
