Not for kings - but to catch Dolphin, small ling, tripletail, nice baitfish around a grassline you can't beat a 3" CLEAR bass assassin on a 3/8 oz jig head. Work it fast, fast, fast and you will see what is around. Had a 47lb ling on this last year. If nothing happens right away nothing you do with artificials is going to change that.
For real fun, throw a Clear Zara Puppy topwater. They beat themselves up to eat this one. They unfortunately will pull the hooks completely out of the lure if they have any size at all. I throw them hookless just to get the strikes. A school of chickens will explode on that lure over and over. Sometimes the topwater activity brings up a school when nothing else will.
Anyone know who sells a CLEAR offshore grade topwater lure? Clear anything is my secret bait.
