That happened to me last fall. We stood there watching it float for a few seconds then a fish came up and it was gone. (it was a Jigman hand carved too)
hhahha I remember that one too! It was just sitting there floating then gone and nothing but bubbles were left......
Woa , that happened to me with a nice plug that Throwing Timber gave me on the Cape. I was fishing with Basswipe one evening and my teaser got caught on the rod or some gd thing ..anyway snap! Luckily the splash was not too far out.So I remembered the wave where it landed , and waded around with my light (oh noo!) for a while and there she was! It was like finding a new plug!
It happened to me a couple of times. This one wasn't brand new but it ended up about 50 yards out and after only 4 casts with a modified pencil popper{several extra trebbles}I snagged it.
My brand spankin' new first time cast of a sweet needle picked up at last years MSBA show{c'mon March!!!}, the wind gusted up in my face while I of course tried to sail it across the sound with my conventional. Twing!!! Not having my trusty popper, and being that the water was all the way up to 62 degrees, and not wanting to be out that cash, I took the lomgest, coldest, and most rewarding swim of my life.
