Which Plug...

[Flaptail]

All depends when and where and what time of year ( I know, let's not make this complicated but as the old saying goes, "the more you know the less you can be sure of")

I have many specific choices for pluggery based on experience and where I am and at what time of day, year and current conditions.

It is not that simple. (At least for me)

Skin over a surface swimmer, bone colored Rebel jumpin' minnow , white or pink 7 inch sluggo or a yellow pencil popper or Yozuri hydro pencil or Yozuri surfave cruiser by day. 9" black Sluggo, rigged eel or live eel after dark. Once and a while I'll use a 7" weighed Redfin or the new Rapala plastic swimmer(great lure) when there's current. Also, nder the right condition, a 3/4 to 3 oz. white bucktail jig with red/white pork rind day or night.

This is pretty much exactly what I was going to write. If I had to choose without more information, I'd pick a Polaris popper during the day and a needle at night.

anything that will cruise subsurface a bit. I find that if theyre feeding slightly subsurface and are intent or focused on one kind of bait a pencil will spook them. I feel that is because the pencil is doing the exact oppisite of what theyre eating. You know the what the hell is that thing type of reaction.

Now if I walk over the birm and theyre whaling bait on the surface, its a no brainer pencils.

ny murder machines (pencils) are a double edged sword, yeah they catch but if theyre large and skittish you got 1 cast over a decent fish.
