Flap - found this one in the Mystic river close to the Amelia Hart Dam. It could have been dropped from a boat entering the moorings.

It's not a "J-Plug" it's a "Lucky Louie"

I agree with the Bernster..Doesnt the J-plug have a wire leader going from the belly hook though the head ?? When you catch a fish on one, the plug will slide up the leader i think.

I could be wrong.

Quite right. The J-Plug is rigged with a bead chain swivel that goes thru the body, split ring and hook. When a fish is hooked the plug will slide up the line. With that rigging it would not be wise to use it if the Bloooooofish are around. Lose your fish, lose your plug.....2 time loser
