The outstanding ability of this plug to attract big bass is due to the unique swimming action it creates. Unlike minnow type plugs that swim from the nose, the Danny pivots from a fulcrum in the center of its body. (Bucktail not included)

Fisherman Tip

Let the current do most of the work, and vary your retriever as you move the bait through different types of water. An occasional jerk of the rod tip that causes the plug to spurt or splash lightly can be very effective. At night however, a steadier retriever is more desirable. Fine-tuning should be restricted to the stainless wire eye of the plug, leaving the pan lip in its original shape. Bend the eye up slightly to obtain a deeper retriever, and down for more surface action. Unlike our direct tie recommendation with other plugs, the Danny will work better from a black Duo Lock snap for a freer swimming action. A swivel is not needed. Remember, keep those hooks sharp and re-tie frequently to keep fresh line at the business end of your efforts.

Tail weighted so it reaches the fish and consistently sits at a 45 degree angle allowing it to “walk the dog.” Drop your rod tip on the retrieve and it will glide side to side. While strong enough for any pelagic species this fully floating, American made lure is versatile enough to fool any wreck fish from the shore or boat.

More commonly referred to as the "Bottle Plug" this is our "Derby Special" due to "derby" winners it has been credited with. No metal lip allows this plug to really reach the "off beach" rips.

Much like the standard Pencil Popper, the ProSeries now comes with molded eyes and more enhanced hardware.

Fisherman Tip

The most effective retriever: point the rod tip at the plug and induce some rapid up-and-down tip action - not violently but steady, at the same time reel slowly to make plug dance from side to side on the surface.

All time favorite and finished in a traditional Popper fashion. (Bucktail not included)

The key here is to vary the speed, even letting it come to a rest on occasion. Impart only enough rod tip action to splash the water and create the audible gurgle. The most common error in fishing Poppers is to overdue the rod action. Only a twitch is needed as sound will travel under water.

This lure is staple for anyone fishing fast moving bodies of water. The flattened bottom gives it the ability to get on top of the current with ease in order to maintain its side to side action.

Try off jetties, rivers and big rips.

Sleek, tapered design with tail weight to get it out there.

A "classic" in the saltwater plug offerings.

Fisherman Tip

This plug is more effective when cast in the current and immediately jump start with a moderate jerk of the rodtip to get the plug to bite and start its decent. Follow with a slow steady retrieve as the plug works from side to side for about ten to fifteen feet; then return your rod to a forward position pointed at the plug and allow the Darter to float back to the surface. Your line will need to be slacked to allow this but be ready as strikes often occur with an erratic left-to-right motion as it is retrieved. This is Stan Gibbs' most effective retrieve but you can experiment with different speeds and rod motions, finding another that is better suited in other circumstances.

A true classic among swimming plugs. The Danny derives its swimming action from a fulcrum point amid ships compared to the nose action of the smaller minnow type plugs. This unique action simulates larger bait fish. The Deep Diver catches more 50 and 60 pound fish than any other of our lures. Fish it LOW and SLOW during times of high current. Reaches depth of 6 feet without the use of wire line. (Bucktail not included)

Tee is packed with a poly-cotton performance blend that combines comfort and breathability with tear-resistant durability. You'll also get UPF sun protection, odor control, and moisture wicking materials to make these your go-to Tee.

Pan-lipped and effective at any depth and water condition. 1-2 knot trolling speeds will swim this lure at a  depth of 4 feet.

Also effective in the center of umbrella rigs. A great jetty lure when cast into the out-flowing current and allowed to drift off shore before beginning the retrieve. We recommend using swivels, heavy snaps or leaders.

These plugs are specifically designed to tangle and handle bruiser tuna and other oversize pelagics. Weve equipped them with 7/0 Owner Offshore Big Game hook, Owner Hyper Wire split ring, a 350lb Spro swivel all attached to 800lb thru wire.

Fisherman Tip

This beefed up bait has most of its weight concentrated in the tail, allowing the plug to cast VERY far while holding a smooth and steady track on the retrieve. A medium to fast retrieve while twitching the rod tip is the optimal way to fish this great lure!
