What can I say, It was the long weekend, I was feeling good, and I did one heck of an impulse buy. A absolute boat load of plugs (100+)... I thought I got what I'd like to call a reasonable price, for a mostly assorted, unknown miscellaneous bunch of them, both brand new, and used condition.
Maybe somebody could tell me something I don't know. I think there are a few beauties in here... A handful of a few battle-worn scarred up ones which got me excited, but the rest, well I really will be spreading the wealth, and getting rid of some to get some of my money back for those that may be interested (but that's another thread for another day!).
Basically really want to get into trying plugs more. Good ole' Eastern area 16 where I am always fishing out of at hasn't been so kind to me this year, I want to find something that can produce! Fish so few and far between, I figure this can give me a better chance while hauling (a**!) around at plug speed so I can cover more ground, more quickly - and still be productive enough to potentially find a decent school of fish when I pass by!
Here's some of the most notable varieties of the bunch, I KNOW the Blue 7" (500?) - that should be a good one (all scarred up from fish!), just tie to the split ring opposite the weld, good to go, others may need the pin pulled, etc.
Not sure how good those Iridescent ones will be, don't see them used much.
Doubtful that any of these 7" may be 'killers'... Maybe Pink/white?
I bet the Purple one here will be good! Orange one is interesting , but from what I've heard everything indicates orange is no-good for chinook lures (unless it is all about the action on these)
Just LOOK at that blue one! - Hoping it's good! A lot of teeth marks
Notice below, all the #116's - Useless?
This is my 'beat up/useless looking 'pile' - but they may be good? Doubtful... At least out of all them I have this is really the worst 'looking'!
I guess on this one, the hook is bent as it was a commie rig - Plug sure got the S*** kicked out of it!
Orange plug that looks productive, but oddly enough... It's orange, yet it has teeth marks?
Most of these are "old school colours" (I'm sure a lot of you will agree), but it will get me started, just trying to spread the knowledge and see what people might think! From what I have read though - it seems the few great plugs people discover are more about the action, than the colour, no?
Unforunatley, no glow plugs I don't think, so might not be of any use at all if I drop these down to 200' +... I saw the 158's and got all exited, thinking they were 602's. Oh well! I might try to repaint some as well in that case!
Here's hoping my impulse buy... Was a good one! (thankfully I don't keep a score of these things!)
