Super strike darter...
I rig mine 2 ways, well two ways that I'll discuss. One is with 4/0 VMC trebles on the front and back, and the other is with a 4/0 treble front and a 6/0 siwash with some feather or hair on the tail. They work great in a cross current, outflow, or in calm water. Some guys won't throw darters in water that is not moving. I never understood that. I have taken TONS of fish over the years on the SS darters and it has become one of my top 5 favorite plugs. Working them is pretty easy too. I like a medium fast retreive, always staying in contact, with a random "pop" to the plug. If you test swim the plug during the daylight, you'll see the pop adds a little extra zig to the zag. Often the hit will come right after this extra movement when the plug sort of pauses and regains its composure to swing the other way. When the surf or curent gets too big to keep the darter in the water, out comes the SS bottle plug. Tattoo's darter has quickly taken its place in my bag as well, but wood just doesn't hold up over time to the rocks. There is nothing more frustrating than banging fish for half a tide, only to have the face of the darter chip off on a rock and suddenly your catch rate goes way down. Tat's darters do dive a bit deeper, but have their applications.
