Heavy surf plugs and tin
I was thinking about plugs and tins for big surf this AM as I did my "Tour of Duty" before work. TDF's post on using a darter struck home. I had used a very tail heavy pencil popper the other day with good success in some big surf off rocks. The heavy tail was able to anchor the plug in the wash and white water. How a bass can see a white plug in all that white water is beyond me!
At any rate, got me wondering, what else do guys use when the surf is big. I remember that I ought to toss a few big Castmasters and Point Judes in the bag. Some heavier jigs. Certain needles are more suited to heavy surf that other, can't remember which ones. Any thoughts?

The Point Jude 2 1/2 oz. Butterfish will cast a mile and has some of the best action of any metal in the water today.You can feel it pumping the rod just by retrieving it straight in with no jigging action by you. Videos coming soon...right Joe,Peter ,and John?  |

i'll jump in on this one...
by far the best metal in the market...
for the weight, it still rides somewhat higher in the water column than a kakakakastmaster, I think its due to the keel design
larger profile looks like bunker as well
always have one in my bag
also good when the surf is too rough to throw eels
swap out the dressed tail for a 7/0 live bait.....built in weight to get the eels down in the water....i think i use the pojee for that...long, slender profile...no snags on bottom either |

Hab's Night n'Gale is a good needle.Mac's Canal Pencils are real good in the big surf.Salty's Sherriff pencils are great too.Joe's tins like the big Butterfish and the Sea Scallop are sweet.Kastmasters and Crippled Herrings are nice,they just lose their flash and finish real quick.
