I'm looking for some Bodega Bay Lures, preferably Spooks and Pencils but will consider others.

Adding a couple plugs to the leftovers of a previous thread... PAYPAL ONLY!!!!! I will cover paypal fees so the lure prices are the actual price, no fees added, as per the new rules. However please add $5 to the total of your order for shipping... If you want more than one lure, i will combine the lures into one package to keep the shipping cost at a constant $5 per order I will list each lure from top to bottom, left to right according to the picture. ALSO, if anybody wants the 300yd spool of 30lb test power pro in red, just add an additional $10 to your plug order. This was intended to go on a lure i no longer have so i figured id give someone a good deal now that i have no use for it. Got it at Dicks, not the auction site.. too many bad experiences with that stuff. (if its against the rules to have the spool of line in the WTS PLUGS thread, please someone let me know so i can put it in its own thread.. didn't see anything about this in the rules but i may have missed it) *******SPOOL OF PP IS SOLD*********** 5-1/4" SuperStrike Little Neck Popper 2-3/8oz (sinking version) in Neon Yellow - $12 **SOLD** 7" Bomber Long A Magnum Jointed 2oz in Blue/Chrome - $3 **SOLD** 7" Tactical Anglers SubDARTER 3oz in Gold/Yellow - $12 **SOLD** 5-1/4" SuperStrike Needle 1oz in Copper - $8 **SOLD** 7" Random Custom Spook Plug (estimated 2oz) in Gold/Orange - $7 **SOLD** Ive thrown this lure a few times to test it out, casts and swims as good as any other wooden spook, reminds me of a 24/7 Mully.

So i was having a conversation with an excellent plug builder and good friend of mine the other day about color selection in general but specifically in terms of topwater plugs. Does it matter? People traditionally use light colored spooks and pencils for stripers and blues from the surf; this makes little sense to me. personally it is my belief that color does not matter but that the action imparted on the plug is far more important. Recently I filmed a few of his plugs underwater with scuba equipment for his website; spooks and pencils as well as some topwater metal lips and a few divers and darters. I found this experience not only beneficial in seeing the action of the plugs from a fish's perspective but also in realizing the lack of color when viewing a plug from below. While it is true that the rod/cone combination within the striped bass eye is different than our own the plugs all appeared black when viewed from below. When looking at nature the top predators of the ocean also share my opinion on underwater color schemes. Think of the apex of the food chain, the great white shark. Dark blue on top white on the bottom, this helps hide the shark from their prey, prey fish looking form the surface down will have a hard time spotting the shark against the dark blue abyss while prey fish looking up will have a hard time making out the sharks silhouette against the light backdrop of the waters surface. Prey fish also use this same scheme in reverse to hide themselves within the water column, think mackerel, halfbeaks, etc. Because of this i believe it is not beneficial to invest in outstandingly accurate paint jobs in plugs, especially in the topwater genre. My favorite topwater color is simply woodgrain, also for darters too and i have not seen a drop in my catch rate since making this transition from mackerel scale patters and herring spots. In my experience it is the action of the plugs rather than the paint scheme that will catch fish, then again "It doesn't matter til it does." is always true. Presentation, angle of retrieve and the action of the plugs are the most important contributors in helping to increase your catch count. In my experience one exception to this rule is overcast conditions. Bass looking up will be able to make out the colors of the lure as it will not have as much of a silhouette against a darker backdrop. In these conditions I have the best luck with parrot colored pencils and spooks, not lifelike bunker/mack patters. These are only the opinions of 2 surfcasters, not rules by any means and i look forward to hearing your input on the topic.
