U have been telling me this for a few yrs now..
Since then I have put together quite a selection of his plugs.I don't buy em at the shows as I can get em from tackle shops.I save the money at the shows for the stuff that is not so readily available here in NJ..Plus I go to his booth an he wants to talk my ear off..
I have quite a few nice sized NJ fish on the sherrif.More than most users.Maybe more than all of em.It certainly is a usefull plug.I think it needs a little tweeking..There are times I don't use it.If I remember right The front treble seems to foul on the fish during the battle...Not sure if it's from the hook spacing as 4" between the front hook and rear hook is more than most. Or if it's the length of the lure.Could be the combination of both.I get good fish on the rear hook(thats right they bite the rear hook) an it seems to foul hook em often with the front hook.Now I have a 30 lber I have to fight from under her chin.It gets too hard to winch em in.Trust me I keep the pressure on em It just seems to happen more with the Sherrif.It certainly raises em well.I think the tail section of it the last 1.5" could have some more taper to make it fly better.It could also be around 8 inches..instead of almost 9"s..Then it wouldn't really be the sherrif now would it..
I am advocate of the pencil with the eye in the rear.It's the part that stay's in the water.When it's flailing all around it looks like the front of a bunker to the bass.IMO...
I like to think I invented that..Probably done as a squid thing well before my time.I have a different take on it..The finish is good yes they do hold up well. I also like his needles.I took one down an took some lead out this fall an did well with it in NJ..When I needed something slightly lighter.
Yes they are usefull plugs that do hold up well...
