Squid-plug?
I have a trip planned for next spring. The primary forage at this spot is squid. Darters have been a go to plug the past few trips for the guys I'll be joining. When bass are keyed in on squid, what plugs do you throw?

Darters are an old standby. Last year, off Chatham with plenty of squid nearby, Habs new squid plugs did very well and they cast a mile+

The squidzee casts a mile and will hug the bottom where the bigguns dwell. I heard you like to hug hairy bottoms.

Hab's squid plug? Which one? I've seen his squid pencil popper, squid straight popper, and squid junior swimmer.

T Lap. During our trip last spring the white SS darter , SS needle in amber seemed to be the ticket. Various colors also worked. Long casts were the key to more hits. Squidzees and loaded SS needles will be in my bag this time around!

If they're on top and the squid are on the large side, one of Mac's versions of the Norris Jet Squid could be a good choice. If they're not on top, maybe a Hab's night and gale would do the trick in white or pink?

Paul, I must have 20 - 30 of them. I threw them a lot for a while, but have yet to even raise a fish on one. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Tried many different retrieves.  |

Back in the late 80s and early 90s they were the killer lure on the Backside. Don't know why. Like Capesam said. Let it rest and pop a couple of times. Always hit them when they were resting.

CS & Piemma, Thanks! I knew a couple of you guys would have some insight on the plug. That's probably one of the only retrieves I never tried.
