I've got a cellar full of them, mostly the wrong ones, alas.

The bottom two (the F90 and F80 original version windcheaters) are supposedly what you want, although I never knew that back in the day.

The yellow color was hot years back on the Vineyard.

Anybody ever catch a fish with a sinker version?

George Thirty years ago my goto plug.
Blackback at night,blueback first light.If you load a sinker you can drag bottom in fast moving water. If you snap off the lip on a yellow sinker it will fish just like a pogie.
Ikeep my 7" rebels under my bed.

Fished the Yellow one at Narrow River one epic October night with my late friend Russ Olivo and absolutely crushed LARGE. There were Pogies all over the bar that night and the Yellow one must have looked just like one.

No boat, back in the suds.

I agree, don't paint them. I have some of those F90's that I sanded the paint off the sides to give them that "sought after" bone finish that comes from banging around on rocks and in bluefish mouths gives the lure. They were killer like that.

I don't cast as often anymore, but first light along the Narragansett shore still proves that they work. Distance doesn't matter, the hits often come right at your feet.
