Mike -
I fished with Mark for several years when I lived in North Palm Beach and Miami - caught everything on them down there from tarpon above 100 pounds, redfish, snook, seatrout, jacks, etc. And as a result, I have used his stuff extensively up here and caught pretty much everything in the inshore waters:
Shallow Running Bait Buster in Green back with silver flake - caught stripers up to 40 pounds on them - I only have a few shots left, as I gave most to Mark, which he probably lost, but had some banner fishing days with them.
TerrorEyze - I have caught numerous Little Tunny on them fishing around both Watch Hill and Montauk, stripers off the backside of Fishers and blues and bass up to 15 pounds off Montauk (while these are not the biggest of bass, they are small baits).
CAL Jigs - small ones and new larger ones in avacodo with red fleck and pearl - black jig heads on the avacodo and red fleck, red jig heads on the pearl - sometimes insert his rattles in them - they catch stripers like crazy and I have landed fish above 15 pounds lost bigger ones (again, not the biggest of bass, but they work great, I have outfished others with them repeatedly).
They are great baits, you can buy them in kits from his Web site
www.doalures.com. I always have them with me and use them quite regularly. The big shrimp in chartreuse would make great teasers for cod, and the small fly shrimp could work during the krill hatches.
Fishing with Mark is always a treat, as he is one of those anglers whose got it. He can outfish most people when he fishes next to them. He once did a test where four anglers -- all top notch fishermen -- fished side-by-side on the flats in the Indian River just inside from the St. Lucie Inlet, they would cast and then take a step in unison, and then cast again, Mark outfished all of them over and over. He has the touch.
