also are some 7" Pinkney style sand eels, powered by the Left top slot, I did well under a bright September full moon with the gold/white ones... and caught quitre a few fish with the striped one day break when the bass were bashing spike Macks...
Those are superb. What kind of wood are the pichney style plugs built out of?

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
