Plugs to replace soft swimbaits

[Bill Hill]

Fish traps and Vision Eel seem to be the hot lure in the surf here in Central California.  I love the top water lures from Salty and am looking for suggestions for something that would swim underwater, cast well and mimic small fish.  Simple?   thanks

TINS for sure!

Amen to that - I had a chance to check out Salty's tins at the RI show, and they are superb. One thing about tins: when they get scratched up, just get out the Dremel and give them a quick polishing, and they're as good as new.

 Another vote for Scott's Tins. With the new additions to the Tin lineup, there's a good selection of body lengths and profiles to match most small bait fish in the surf here on the So.Jersey beaches I fish.
Blues in all sizes, some Stripers and the last few years I've been targeting Fluke with good results.
Tins and Metal's...Fun!
