Danny Branch Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 A cursory search of the B-T-S forums shows that there are a bunch of folks trying to buy Line Stretcher Surface Tension plugs but not a ton selling them. So my question is this, is there something else out there that could be considered a relatively close equivalent to them? I know that there is nothing identical but is there a stand-in that has been identified? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StripersBR Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Are they really that hot of a commodity right now? Let me guess. Someone must have caught a nice fish on it, posted it up and now everyone wants one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really move some water as you rip them across the surface, making a big commotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less tiring in a long day of cranking for Roosters. Have you looked at Cabo Killer lure, it seems all you recent posts seemed geared towards West coast Mexico you should take a look specifically at a lure designed to work for Jacks and Roosters that region.

I've looked at the Robert's Ranger and it may become the defacto stand-in, since you can actually get them. Spoffords seem as scarce, if not more so, as the Line Stretcher.

I really like the stuff Stephen Lasen puts out. I have definitely looked at his lures and will probably go that way on a couple, but I was just hoping for, how do you say, a more cost effective alternative.
