yup...but mine would be bunker and well...not jointed. Second choice would likey be an Afterhours Junior spook in Yellow/White. If I was stranded where I did most of my fishing last fall I would be OK with just that plug.

Afterhours,

Hopefully you will be at the upcoming shows with some of them. I need a yellow red head too.

I saw the Afterhours Jr Spook in yellow/white in action on Cutty fished by the man himself and it blew my mind! Fish could not leave it alone!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

After more consideration I think I would take Ryan Smith's jointed version if I could get my hands on one.

Only place a Predator ever worked for me was the Elizabeth's. Something about those islands that agree with that plug. And, George, it will never happen. You can fish Nashawena and watch me from there, it's almost as good. ( nothing like peacefully casting along the rocks at just before sunrise, a mist hangs in the air and your all by yourself floating along plugging the rocks in your skiff when around the point comes a center console with a guy and his Golden Retrievr in it and he pulls up a hundred feet from you and he yells out, " Hey Shiraka!", get the f*ck off of my spot"! Nice.

Why even try.........

I like that plug because I'm still able to keep it moving in a stiff wind and rough water. It seems to work better than most other topwater plug in those conditions. I murder 'em on it in calm conditions too.

This is a tough one. first because I dont have too many member plugs and second I would drop the rod and reel and grab Jessica Alba who just happened to be on the ship. (hey it is hypothetical right, a man can dream) The three plugs I have caught the most fish on is a MAC pogie pikie, a bernzy yellow and white howdy and a guzz ballerina in green pogie. Mac's plug caught the biggest fish, Bernzy's plug caught a ton, but I would have to go with Guzz's green pogie. It can be worked on top and slightly down and it caught good size fish for a small plug. The only time it let me down was when I snapped it off in a strong outgoing tide never to be seen again. I have never been down to the Elizabeth's so I will say cuttyhunk.

This is a tough choice, why doesn't everyone send me a plug so I can make an intelligent choice.
