Superstrike 2-3/8 oz sinking popper is one of my go to nighttime plugs, A couple of pops when it hits the water then swim it slow for a ways, then another pop. I always pop my darters to start with also. It makes a difference sometimes.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

This is a Lucky Louie plug that I got on the first Cuttyhunk trip many moons ago. It was from GB's family's house. (There were literally hundreds of old plugs hanging from wire all around the house. VB would have had a heyday there. As for the Lucky Louie, Capt Chet thought it might have been a salmon plug that the old Cuttyhunk captains liked to use. Anybody know this plug?

Numbskull- My Godfather's friend would always take him out fishing along the Elizabethans. Neither are great fishermen I would say. They just know to fish poppers along the rocks. They have caught TONS of bass, big bass. And the one guy, Butterbean they called him, once caught a giant fish on one. He brought it home but only had a bathroom scale. So he weighed himself then weighed him holding the bass. The bass weighed roughly 65lbs....

My favorite poppers are the OLD plastic Atom 3 oz poppers. I still have a couple that have caught tons of fish. And they also swim like a SS. One night at the narrow river during a full moon I caught bass to twenty lbs on them swimming them. It was the only thing they would eat...

Oh yeah, that guy who caught the monster bass got it on a 3oz atom. just talked to my godfather about it...
