Its funny how it seems to change from year to year.
From the surf:
The jointed Xrap had been great for the last few years but it seemed to fade a lot for me this season. Can't say anything really jumps out as number one as I did not fish the surf a ton this year but I went from time to time. If I had to pick one it would be the heavy ss needle in black/purple. I normally don't fish those much anymore but it did better than most everything else I fished.
From the boat: I have to say my shimano butterfly outfished everything with the heavy banksinker-squid jig a close second.
Offshore:
I love my ballyhoo daisychain rig with the swimming head on the stinger (you rig it with dead baits). This was great. I found this rig in a dusty old box in a on-island tackle shop floor stuffed away in the corner... It has a clever clip that allows easy attachment of the baits. The package was yellowed and faded. I figure gezzz...this looks like it would work let me try it. The proprietor said he has not sold one of those in years (and he has more in the back if I want them) Let me say after my canyon trip...I went back and cleaned him out. The company them made them is long gone and I can not find those clips anyplace.
