At times through every season I find one plug tends to be a bit hotter then others and it becomes what I fall back on through-out the year... And my surf bag represents what has been my favorites in the past seasons....ie habs needle fish, various darters, swimmers ect....

At the moment...what is your current favorite plug?

Mine is the thick-backed MegaBait JB-150 1.75oz 5 3/4" floating minnow in all colors...I have caught more fish on that thing this year and have consistantly out fished people around me. It cast well is balanced and IMO it has the best swimming action of any minnow plug out there even at a slow retrieve. Also its wider lip design has more water resistance allows for slightly more tension in the line allowing you to be more connected to the plug but does not seem to impead casting distance. It comes with a pair of strong VMC trebles (one of the best IMO) and has an excellent realistic fish look to it. Even with the finish striped off down to the bare plastic (due to excessive fish catches) it still has been out producing most of my other plugs. I am sure it will not stay as my favorite forever but for now that is what is working for me the best in the suds.
