TBone,
First off that Avatar is a riot. Secondly, I agree with the confidence thing. I’m no expert but I take people fishing for a living and thru the last year or two I’ve started to use more lumber when the angler is able. This year the SWE brought them in and I bought a few to use myself and with clients in the boat. IMHO Beachmaster plugs are more superior to any other custom plug out there. His swimmers swim better than any other Danny style swimmer and are extremely durable. The needlefish are heavy but have taken more bigger fish than any other needlefish this year for sure. Beachmaster plugs are the best hands down. This fish was taken last weekend off Newport from the boat on the yellow/olive combo. The angler is my buddy Joel Swan who loves these needlefish as well. Many others this size plus many lost which sucks but that’s fishing. Good luck out there and hopefully this helps.
