Hi Gary,
You've seen that yellow pikie of yours I fish with. Even though it's the smaller version, it's been my favorite plug to fish around rock piles up here in the North Shore. I beat that thing pretty good last season as you could tell, it got slammed off many rocks, and it's still swimming strong. Whatever finish process you use on the plugs holds up really well. Can't wait to wet that deep diver you gave me. I have a few coves that are just begging for it.
I too like to fish big plugs but feel like I can cast and work them much better with conventional gear which I haven't been using much of lately. This year I'll be tossing some bigger stuff and will just have to deal with the damn blow ups.
Come onnnnnnnnnnn June!
