Darter Talk

[striperswiper75]

I am a darter fanatic, I usually carry at least 3 with me at all time. I normally carry two SS darters and a 3oz BM darter (recent run). There is 1 spot where I will also toss in a 3oz Tattoo.
It seems recently there are more builders making darters these days. Finding them can be difficult though, as not many builders make enough to sell on a large scale. I have also used darters by Wallys, Woodys, CCW, Surf Asylum, Sporting Wood, Gibbs, Northbar. I recently bought a Big D darter at the Narragansett tackle sale.
What other darters are people using out there? Who makes a good deep running model?

I think smaller darters are very good and often overlooked. I somehow was lucky enough to be able to get a Numbskull 5 inch darter that is a Musso clone maybe 1 3/4 ounces. Light green over white. That small darter is a killer in spots that I fish in CT. I spoke to Dave Anderson and he is going to do a run of smaller darters.

I have had luck with the Tattoo 2 ounce and Beachmaster 2 ounce which are smaller. Choopy also makes a smaller darter.
