I use flies, and think they work better for albies, but if you are going to use lures, the best one I've found by a wide margin is this little yozuri plug. Not sure what it is called, but it works better than crystal minnows in my experience. You won't be casting it from shore, however. For that I'd try the yozuri jig in the picture. I think the problem with metal for blitzing albies is that it sinks out of the strikezone too fast (or is pulled out of the zone too fast if you try to keep it on top). As Sandman points out, you can often do better blind casting with metal to get deeper swimming fish rather than flail away at busting schools that are focusing on bait within inches of the surface.
