I honestly haven't tied a plug on in probably 3 years, I fish exclusively with plastic from 100-1 foot of water, rigging changes obviously from weightless to 7" splittails on 5oz jig heads.

If I was limited to one rod in one hand and what I could grab with the other, I'd grab one bag 6" half jerks in sand eel and a bag of 3/4oz Kalin Ultimate jigs heads. Unless it were spring, then the 4" split tail and 1/2oz heads would definately be my choice.

That....is a tough call? I am a topwater junkie so any pencil (spot dependant on size) is what I love to draw vicious strikes and also my "Blitz Seeker" by day.......night time......I like to "Prey"!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Its hard to pick just one "go to" plug for the entire season, however I prefer the Sluggo. If the Sluggo isn't considered a plug then I would say a pencil popper or a Super Strike "heavy" Bullet.

If it had to be one, yellow over white Bigfish 3.0 ounce doubleshot. That works for me.

No real go-to plug. Always depends on where and when. Other than bway/canal, it's usually a swimmer or plastic. This year, it'll be something I grab out of timmah's bag since he's been building enough for three people.

I, personally, have never seen a man master the art of catching seagulls with those 2 lures like you

You are the true master.
