Question for the Needlefish Guru's

[MikeD]

The blurple and white are Salty's and the wooden finish is a plug made from one of the guys on this site that looks like a superstrike, it is heavier than the salty's.

Those responses were all helpful. There is a spot I frequent that has much more of a ripping current, I'll give the slow retrieve technique a try there and go with a quicker retrieve to keep it up in the water column on the sandbar like clogston mentioned. I just need to believe in the damn things.

I'm fishing bait less and less. I keep very few fish and the gut hooking on chunks is pissing me off, even with circles. Eels will still remain a staple but I'm looking for a solid plan of attack in the dark to replace cut bait. I like the idea of putting the pork rind on the tail hook to give it a little stank.
