Sea Pup

[surfcast]

HI all this is my first post on this sight. I have intrest in the two OZ sea pup
it looks great im little aprehensive they are pricy . and did not have much luck
with the excalibure salt water spook 7/8 oz.WHEN i retrive it it tends to go under, and not skip back and fourth on top of the water like it should.What would be your recomended retrive for this lure like a pencil popper or tip down with fast twitches ??? do find it to be favorite in the bag or soso.thanks in advance for reply:

i like the sea pup alot in calm to moderate conditions. I fish it with the tip up and with sharper, slower twitches than I would use with a pencil to get it to glide in as wide of a pattern as possible. it'll dive occasionally, but usually stays on top. yellow/white is great at dawn in the fall.

Chief L I was Checking them out too. They looked a little light to me At 3/4 of an OZ can i use a mustad 1/0 treble instead of a vmc?? If you suggest them i will pick a few up.

I love that plug. On many occasions I've pulled keepers out of a mess of schoolies on that plug. Like Clogston said......go for yellow.

These plugs are great and really the only plug I have both clients use and I myself use when I get time to fun fish. Below are a few pictiure from the past season using Tattoo's Sea Pups in all white, blue/white, baby bluefish, and of course the almighty herring (blue/pink/white).
PS.. I still love my JM's too!

The sea pup if one of my favorite spooks. The seadog got me a 35" bluefish this year too.


Get a few of the pups over the winter you will be glad you did come springtime.

You mean there are other spooks besides Don's that catch ??

Picked-up one of Tattoo's swimmers last year, the "cotton candy" herring pattern as my nephew calls it. Verrrrrry nice and equally as productive .

Sounds good Shady.................will do!
