No sales pitch, just a kudo. Thanks for the NB info. I would like to get a bottle darter or two.

I don't want to start a war here, but you don't need expensive wood to catch fish on plugs... just look at the loaded red fin! although some colors are hard to get

The Beachmaster medium danny is the best Danny plug available today, no contest there. Never leave home without one white, one yellow/silver and one pollock (black/gold).
|
Why even try.........

You and me both. It seems like you need to know which shop is getting them before the shops even know it. I'm very curious to see how the bottle darters swim in person, but I don't doubt they catch. |

That's why I bought one, and posed the original question? The bottle plug has always been a very situational plug for me , but on the rare occasion when I've clipped one on, I've done pretty well. Believe it or not I have taken 3 very big fish on them over the years. I always liked the Gibbs 3 oz. mackerel bottle and more recently, the Supersrike in parrot , yellow or black/yellow. I just wanted to know if anyone out there was more aware of these new bottles by North bar.

By the way, Numbskull. I fished on BI in the 80's alot and ran into Steve Campo on occasion. He was always using needlfish or 7 inch loaded redfins most likely because they worked and because it was always blowing a gale which made live eel fishing extremely difficult. Steve used to say that the guys from RI were lousy fisherman because they used yellow Stren line. He was just busting.

Wouldn't Block Island have a downwind side?
Why would he accumulate special metal lip plugs as mentioned above to throw into a gale?
None of this seems to make sense. We all know eels work better. So why did all these good fishermen go to plugs?
Anybody? |

I dont think that you could get eels on block island in the 80's...and as a result, plugs were used. |
