DownChild: Had GREAT success with the no-number plug with the glow belly and blue scale back pattern. Ran it amongst the best when operating the commercial plug fisheries in August, and it easily held it's own. Interesting that you put a good commercial hook on it. More interesting is the beak or bend you put on the hook point. That is exactly what the commercial fleet does to prevent scarring of the plug and I tend to believe it holds fish much better than a lesser beaked hook.
The picture of the 300 well indicates it's performance. Always have a few on hand, and especially like them when herring are around.

Yes indeed. I bought about 350 Duratain hooks, 9/0 and10/0.
I love how bendy they are. You could never attain that kind of bend with a stainless!
50# Flourocarbon was key too. IMHO
