Do you guys think Cotton Cordell or Tsunami Poppers work better for blues?

Blues dont care.. least discerning fish out there.. they'll hit anything that moves. I use whatever in my bag is oldest and beat up the most. 

 

With bass it's a different story.

Any hard plastic works well. I try not to throw good wood plugs when blues are swarming. Both plugs Cordell and Tsunami work good though. I tend to lean more towards the tsunami talk and pop.

I found a bunch of Cotton Cordell pencils on closeout, last year, so I bought everything they had. Funny thing is I’m still using the original one I had before I found them on sale. It’s got almost no paint left on it and I’ve had to change the hooks a time or two but the body is intact and still catches.  Funny thing; Last time I changed the rear hook I tied on a yellow bucktail and I noticed a significant decrease in its catching performance. Not sure if the action changed or if it’s me but the plug isn’t producing like it did before I used a dressed hook.

years ago I fished the rips off the Cape using old cedar plugs

without hooks.  Blues would chase them like crazy. Needed to repaint them

after several trips.

Now for the fun part. When you get the blues chasing your plug,

your partner throws out a 3/0 Deceiver and starts stripping.

 

Nothing like a 15 to 20 lb. blue going skyward.

Try it, you may like it

These are my go to for blues, don’t forget to crush the barbs, and if they get unbuttoned, there just doing you a favor.3F27AA01-95A8-4D31-A1E7-76D7C732ACCD.jpeg.8875273942a3e77c31f9c67c5c627f7c.jpeg

Yeah, it's the best when a bluefish unhooks itelf before I have to go hands on. I love their fight but not their dangerous thrashing when you're trying to get your lure back.
