If you had to limit your hardware to six lures, what would they be? Color? Size?
Here's mine. Mind you, I rarely cast hardware. There's nothing I enjoy more than sitting in my beach-chair and drowning a little bait. However, on the rare occasions I am slinging lures here's what I prefer.
1. Gotcha, Red head/white body - 2 oz.
2. Tsunami Shock Wave - 2oz.
3. Sea Striker Jigfish, black/silver - 2 oz.
4. Stingsilver, blue/white - 2 oz.
5. Storm Wildeye Minnow, 4"
6. Storm Saltwater Chug Bug, Metallic Gold Mullet
This selection covers a variety of colors, allows me to cast or jig, and fish the surface. Granted they're not all "striper" baits, but serve me well as all-a-rounders.
