What is your one go to plug?

I know it makes a difference where you are fishing, but what is your first plug you think of that has caught you the most fish or you have the most confidence in?

For me, on the beach lately it's a needlefish plug, years ago pre-seals taken over it used to be the yo-mag darter but I don't fish way out there any longer.

For the canal, it's a jig, a mr.pogie eelskin jig to be exact.

Boat it would be a howdy or spook, love to see them hit on top.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Loaded 7" redfin or a bucktail... kind of a toss up between those two.

go to plug

No matter where when or why I'm fishing any one spot or another, I'll always have a Kast Master in my bag!

Bruce,
If you're talking specifically plugs and not metals, bucktails, or soft plastics I'd also have to say the loaded 7 inch redfin - chicken scratch pattern for all around versatility. Best $8 bargain in surfcasting.

I could go all season with these six, but if I could only use one it would be the parrot darter.

At the canal or in the breachways it would be a yellow darter made by my friend Chuckie. In boulder fields, a little Danny From Matt, on sand a needle from Neil. Gift plugs are the best plugs, especially if they work better than anything else I could get.



Thanks to my son Bob for showing how to post photos here

Pencil popper. Versatile action, casts like a missile and draws vicious hits.

Used to be the 7" red fin, next came the sardine yozuri darter, then I met the plastic nb bottle darter, toss in the sp. Each of those have been the lure that caught when nothing else would. I can't pick one. I could only have one, the sp would win for its versatility, casting prowess, etc.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
