seeing as eelskin plugs are not all "natural",jigs are not plugs, If I had just one plug ... I'd choose one of my slow sinking 6" needles, olive over white.......the versatility of the needle and what it does or can represent gives me options other plugs dont...

I could fish it "nekid" on top as a popper using a rapid retrieve if the fish were on top, add wraps of solder around the body or tail to change the weight for adjustment to local conditions to fish deep in rough or fast water....


or, I could fish it the way I ntended it to be fished if the conditions are to my likings....I've taken alot of big fish on my own needles, hard to turn my back on them in my time of need....
