New Darter Candy

Don't see many darters being made up your way so I thought I'd share some of mine. Try some, they're addictive.

The big ones are around 6.25 inches and 2.5 ounces. The little guy goes 5 inches and 2 ounces. The bottom two are actually "blurple" but the lighting in the pic is a little off.

Thanks guys. Took them out last night and I was pleased with the action. Too bad the fish wouldn't cooperate.

I'm really looking forward to getting in the next plug swap. I'd live to try some of the plugs I see from you guys in LI waters.
