Thank you all very much for the thoughtful responses-- especially George, whose opinion on darters I greatly respect.

I did very well with tandem-rigged 12" and 9" Slug-Gos in these conditions this past season. I was looking for something I could cast a little further in some spots...and also to see if a different plug type would entice a bass over 40 pounds in these schools I'm casting over. I did see a pic' of a bass over 50" landed in my area on an unknown darter under calm(ish), open-beach conditions.

It's tough to hear the best big-fish darter option may be the 3-hook Musso...I am so tired of damaging fish with trebles. This is one of the reasons I like the tandem-rigged Slug-Gos (though I did inadvertently kill my biggest fish of the year on one).

I will look into the glide baits as well -- I am not familiar with the models mentioned but I appreciate the detailed descriptions.
