A little Block Island side story to this: There was an instance on Block when I saw first hand how effective the original Danny Rocket was - and I didn’t have any. Fish were on a “windy” beach. Sand eels were washing around my wader boots. Bass were two rod lengths away and wanted rockets. I got skunked but others didn’t.

To make a long story short – Next day I took an original Gags 7 inch needle and removed the thru-wire, cut the plug in half, added some lead, re-wired the two halves and had two homemade “Gags” rockets. I stuck on single hooks with some saddle hackles and was into bass the next tide cycle. I still have them - they're now retired.


JeffH - send them back to Gags. PM me and I'll provide an address. I send defective plugs back to various plug makers - they've all provided replacements.
