Good during the herring run when people are fishing live herring around you I prefer the pogie color in this situation.
Now when bunker is around during the day pearl
the twilight gold
at night purple
If you own stripers in paradise ou'd know why I let fish'n Dive field that one

Caught a ton of schoolies and 3 keepers on the 4" pearl this year in the fall. Tried the bunker and mackerel colored but with not much luck.
Also noticed that the Pearl seemed to be the choice w/ most of the guys I bumped into

The blue 6 inch shads are DEADLY (day/night) when stripers are feeding on scup.

Lost a monster in the channel this summer. Bent the hook out.
SO BUMMED.
Those little things are special for matching the feed and getting it down there.
Still hurting from losing that one. Felt like the biggest I ever had on the other end !  |

4" pearl storm wildeyes
Used these almost exclusively this fall. Multiple bass up to 34" and once I attached a wire leader almost as many blues. A great lure to use off the beaches!

I might have caught something if I took the darn hook cover off 
I used them just one time this year and it was at the end of the season. I threw it over and got a few hits, but no fish??
I never thought of using them on fluke?? I will have to give it a try!! I caught some nice Fluke on live Scup this summer. |

My neighbor and I had a duel with those things. We caught 20-25 schoolies 24 -26 inches in about 30 minutes! Giggling like little boys . Great lures!

I personally had the most success with the sardine color. Why? I don't know. I do know that often enough to notice, the smaller version did better than the larger.

P.S. I've caught more bass than blues I think. However I was surprised to see them hold up fairly well with my namesake....

4" Bunker
InshoreAngler,
We have about 4 packages left at King Cove Outfitters. You can PM me if you want some.
I have had decent success in the breachways with the 4" and 5" Pinfish as well as the 4" and 5" Bunker.

This is an exceptional lure. It casts great for being mostly rubber based . The weight is great. I gernerally use a pretty big one from the surf and had great success. Blues make quick work of the boides I personally lost at least two dozen to blues...just heads left. My kids like this little one in the ponds here for school bass...very effective.
This spring I caught a 31#er on one, a 5" or so pogy pattern.
I have a huge one about 10" for trolling...I have used it a couple times briefly and so far trolled it deep with wire and just lost one with with it. It is a blue-green color.
