Ol man HABS ,the needlemeister, used to love to use the 2 oz. Pt Jude Butterfish at night with a teaser. In fact, that was the beginning of the idea to make the Black Knights.

Been slaying bluefish after dark down here on a 2oz hopkins with flouro orange tube on the siwash. No bass though, the blues have been hitting plugs until dark then I switch.

I rarely fish them at night. I don't think I have ever seen them on anyone's rod at night either. That said, I pour a bunch myself and have given them to others who told me..."Hey I got a 22#er on that tin you gave me the other night"...My response was: You fished it at night?

I just normally fish them during the day but they seem to work as well at night too. I know several guys make black ones...which IMO sort of defeats the purpose of using "tin" with its reflective properties. (why not use lead or a lead alloy?) Since then I dipped a few in different colored powder paints myself and have caught fish with them but I still fish most tins "naked" (without paint) during the day.

Personally, I think coloring tins are aimed at just selling more flavors to fishermen...That said, at least at this point in time the US has no law on the books saying you can't fish tins (of any color) at night...but that might change.

John liked the sand eely kind when silversides or sand eels were around.When peanuts are around ,probably blue over white would be a good choice. Between olive/white and blue/white should cover you pretty good,but I'm sure there are some guys here that know the teaser game real good that could help better than me.

Geeez, I'm still waiting for one of the Joisey guys to chime in here on the subject...

I first found out about painted tins after talking to John Chiola of J&J Tins from Belmar about a dozen or fifteen years ago - and the practice of using painted tins has probably been around long before most of us were born - myself included...

NJ is big tin country cause those guys know they work real well under a lot of different conditions...

And I've heard when Joe and Jeff Jude show up in Jersey, it's like the Beatles are in town...

You know, somebody once said that continual discovery is the eternal joy of the ahistorical - which is half the reason why I spend time rummaging through dusty old fish books - if it's something that worked well fifty or a hundred years ago, it probably still will, more than likely.

Uncle Joe Jude has reintroduced something that a lot of people had either forgotten or were unaware of locally - hey, that godthamma Joe, he's one shmarta guy...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
