Top 5 Inshore Saltwater Lures
If you could only choose 5 inshore salt water lures for casting and jigging, what would they be?
Here's my list: 1) Ava diamond jig. Probably the most versatile lures ever. Bounce it off the bottom, vertical jig it or cast and retrieve. I've caught Seabass, Blues, Stripers and Fluke on them. If I only had one choice this would be it. 2) Bucktails are also very versatile, bounce them off the bottom or swim them, tip with gulp, strip baits, clams whatever. Best for bottom dwellers like Fluke and great for Blackfish and Seabass too. I've also caught Stripers, Blues and Mahi on them too. 3) Storm Shads are great when the fish are up and feeding and my go to lure when casting into birds working bait fish. 4) Savage sandeel lures. This one does not get used as frequently but when the Stripers are feeding on Sandeels in the fall, this is a must have. Been out several times where this is practically the only thing they'd touch. 5) Surface poppers and everyone has their own favorite. There's nothing more exciting then watching a big Striper or Bluefish explode on your lure. Popping does take some energy but the noise and commotion they make on the surface of a flat ocean or bay will often trigger strikes like no other. What are your top 5?

I would add the Tsunami split tail minnow soft bait. I use it primarily for the false albies & bonito, it's like candy for them, but also effective for stripers, blues, mahi and even fluke if you get it down to the bottom.

Good list. I'd give an honorable mention to Fin-s. Great spearing imitation.

Fluke - Gulp (can't believe this wasn't mentioned already!)
Blues - Crippled Herring Stripers - Swim Shads or Live Target lures Albies - Deadly Dick and of course Avas in various sizes for all the above

Re: Top 5 Inshore Saltwater Lures
Top 5 as in could only have 5 lures you would need to cover the water column. That being said my top 5 would go as follows:
1)Pencil popper 2)Swimming plug. This would either be X-rap or Bomber in silver/black back 3)AVA jig. Hands down most versatile of all inshore lures and if I only had 1 this would be in 4)bucktail jig. Can fish deep or high and get bites from sluggish fish. Also matches the hatch regardless of baitfish. 5)Gulp! There is rarely a time when I don't have gulp with me. Can be used as teaser, tipped on any jig and is a MUST for fluke.
