Right now it's a White w/ Black Shading around the eyes Afterhours Needle or a white Hab's Needle. Both in 2 Oz. I fished eels mostly this fall but when I fished wood that's what I caught the most on.

Dre, 516's have only been dolled out to a few.
I havent sold any of my plugs, so its a trade sort of thing, but since I like ya, I'll scratch a couple together for ya 
Maybe by the CSA dinner, I will have some more put together

Fished nights with eels mostly ... used needles too ...
... otherwise it was a season of pencil poppers, used 'em all and caught on all of them, all good ... but the biggest producer for me were the Afterhours pencils - the 3.5 landed some good fish for me, as the did the 2 oz.

Medium white Gibbs Danny (consistent big fish producer for me), 3 oz. Gibbs Pencil (daytime rough-water searching lure), Charlie Gargano stubby needle (BIG fish producer, new to me, but extremely good in short time period).

Needles - Habs 2.0 ounce & Afterhours 2.25 ounce in Blurple. Best fish of year came on Habs needle, around 30 lbs. Love the durability of both these plugs, the Afterhours plug rides shallower and reacts nicely to being twitched as it almost looks like an underwater pencil popper. Habs is a little more versatile, seems better in rougher conditions.
Swimmers - Tattoo 2.0 ounce jr swimmer, great action with a neat injured wobble/waddle. Also like BM Atom Juniors a lot. I think the best small Danny I've used is the 1.5 ounce Troublemaker. Incredible action that you can feel working through your rod tip. Amazing lifelike Bunker finish.
Other - Love the 2.0 ounce Tattoo Sea Pup, caught tons of schoolies on it this fall when they wouldn't take a Super Strike popper. Easy to work, casts great. Very interested in trying a Bernsie Howdy.

Something different, I took at least a dozen fish 20-30lbs from shore (moving water) with this during the first half of the season. Quit using it (so I can copy it) after that. It is a swimmer.
