Pencil Popper (2 - 3.5 oz) and a monster 9 inch 4 - 5 oz.

My favorite surface plug that casts very well and "walks the dog".  These "walk" even if you find it difficult to make that action. Not pictured here is a squid color with a rear eye palcement pattern.  The squid pencil is outstanding during the squid runs.  Blue/silver/white, yellow and white are excellent just about any time.  Black has been discontinued,  poppers are poor producers at night, stick with swimmers and needles.

Prices $16.00 (2 0z) $18.00 (3 oz and over)

SPOOKS (1.5 - 3 OZ)

A plug for the ages.  The bottom spook is pretty much standard.   Spooks are unsurpased for "walking the dog".   However, not everyone can give a plug the deadly walk-the-dog action, THUS THE MUCH SOUGHT AFTER JIGGY SPOOK.  A friend from Kentucky has given me his permission to make this plug.  It is without a doubt one of the best plugs that I have used in over 50 years of plying the waters of the East coast.  Color availability much like that of poppers.  But I also make a few other colors that are also productive (copper, greenish gold, blue over white , black, etc.)Prices:  

FD Jiggy Spook(top) 1.5 - 2 oz $15.00,

3oz $18.00..

Fishdoc Spook(bottom) 1.5 - 2oz $15.00

3oz $18.00..

Fishdoc Swimmer (2-3 oz)

These plugs work like any metal lipped swimmer with a side to side wobble and roll that leaves a great wake on the surface. The trick to fishing these is to fish them  SLOWLY.  As you can see make these in a relatively standard shape.  The lower river herring pattern is what I call a "THIN SWIM".  The tail section is noticably thinner than the standard style thus giving it a bit more tail action.  These are painted in a wide variety of colors and scaled patterns.  When the river herring are running that pattern is quite productive in the vicinity of a know run.  However, in my experience ALL BLACK, ALL WHITE and ALL YELLOW  are the go to colors day or night, with black being the night-time first choice.  White and yellow have red chins.

Note:  I am making some 5 inch 2 oz rounded nose swimmers in mullet and peanut bunker patterns...still testing the action.

Price: $18.00 each

JOINTED EEL (3+OZ) 

If you like to fish eels slowly in the trough along a beach then this is your plug.  You'll never have to worry about being able to purchase eels again.  Swims well with a smooth, snake-like motion on a slow retrieve.  A great choice for dark of night fishing.  Available in black faded to silver with almond belly... only.
