How long is a peice of string. :?

Almost impossible to say that one would stand out more than the others. Its really a matter of what works on the day. Surface poppers from my experience are probably the least productive but the most fun to catch on as you see the take. That said sometimes I have fished an area with everything in the lure box and the only takes came to the poppers.

Bring a few of each and see what works on the day.

The plugs you are going to be using is more often than not going to be dictated by the ground your fishing over MC. Alot of the ground I fish over is very snaggy so I'm usually using sub surface or as the summer advances surface also.

Best solution is to arm yourself with a broad selection. :wink:
Sea Species(25) bass, codling, whiting, turbot, seatrout, stingray, pollock, coalfish, longspine scorpion, ballan wrasse, dogfish, ling, pouting, poor cod, dab, mackerel, smelt, sandeel, launce, bull huss, painted ray, thick lip mullet, golden grey mullet, rock goby.
Fresh Water (2) brown trout, sea trout

Mr Green,
Heard these are good for electric eels! Of course the one on the right is strictly an adaptor so that they can be used world-wide...
