Plugs that aren't on everyone's radar but that I have faith in and carry are P-Line 4oz Diamond jigs and Silver/Black back Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencils.

4 oz chrome ranger. 
I don't even think I saw one in use this year at the canal. We used to crush the fish in the canal on them. The 4oz model casts like a bullet, stays on top, and is virtually indestructable. You can also get the all white and put a mackerel paint job on it. Pretty sure they cost less than $15 too. |

The F30 and F40 Rebel Minnows. You'd be hard pressed to find a shop that carries them now. Still great fish catchers. Actually almost every plastic plug under $10 is overlooked nowadays. I work in a shop and you should see the looks I get when I recommend a $6.00 dollar redfin. They think I'm trying to sell them junk. Everyone wants the high priced wood. But plastic is making a comeback! Superstrike, Northbar, etc.
Those of you who think the bucktail is under rated have never been to Montauk.

I had a lot of success on the 1oz Gibbs Casting Swimmer this year. Some nitghts it was the only plug that worked, and it even outfished live eels. The 1 oz. version also casts great for a small plug and runs about $13.

Rapala skitter pop in size 9, best spring topwater plug I've ever used. Leopard frog pattern is the number one producer.
Krocodile spoon, love the action and cheap, cast great.
Phobee goldfish, excellent on spring schoolies and white perch.

Because 95% of the people who use them only fish them during the day, on a cast and crank retireve. They're as effective as a Crippled Herring when jigged in the Canal, and they're more durable, with better hooks. Day or night  |

I had one in my bag in the spring. The mackeral paint job is pretty sad, but the profile is pretty close. Had a few hours of fun with it and a few decent fish. Best part is when you launch a long cast you can pick up another 15-20ft with the "Roberts Skip" when it hits the surface. |

Hopkins No-eql is way underrated during the last 20 years or so.

2 oz. Atom Shag N Shad
Deadly with sand eels around...no need to really have that much technique, being slim and light, the chaos of the waves makes it look erratic on its own. On a nice day let it make some pounds into the sand and kaboom

The Atom metal lip....They would cast terrible.Allways broke in the middle.If you left it in your truck on a hot summer day it would become mishaped,and they caught.It used to be the only top water swimmer I would cast.I loved the red/yellow and mackeral.Definitley an underated plug these days.
I havn't fished one in years.I think I will try one again next season....Beef up the hardware first.

Most under rated lure
Lots of chum in the water.
Once plenty of dogfish show up, some kind of under water explosive !

I agree. Bucktail is far from under rated. I don't know anyone who would hit the beach without at least a few bucktails. |
I'd rather be fishing!

Don't know how underrated it is but George, NS, has sold me on the Flaptail. I am addicted to this plug. Had an older gentleman on the canal this year ask me I was fishing a flaptail . He was thrilled to see someone using a plug he used to use a lot back in the olden days. No it wasn't Capesams  |

White Uppermn style bucktail.... not only will it catch bass or blues day or night surf ,boat or jetty.. it works for just about any fish that swims and eats meat....

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Not sure how underrated it is, but I'm a fan of the loaded Rebel Jumpin' Minnow, preferably bone colored.
