The Super ‘N’ Fish is uniquely tapered at both ends a design that Musso says is a closer match to sand eels and smaller profile baitfish. Instead of using screw-in eyes as hook hangers, Musso through-wired his plugs to make them tougher and more durable. In the 1980s, when Block Island surfcasters were regularly picking up the pieces of Boone Needlefish dismantled by huge stripers, it was Don Musso of Super Strike Lures who got the call to make a needlefish-style plug that could withstand the punishment dished out by big bass. A proper listing of the best fishing lures ever needs a nod to that history and must give deference to the lures that “changed the game,” the lures with origin stories that are shared often among surfcasters as they wait out the slack tide, and the lures that tempted not just large, but legendary striped bass.ĭurable and able to withstand punishment from big bass, this needlefish was designed to more closely match the look of small profile baitfish. Surfcasting for stripers is steeped in history and tradition, and filled with stories (legends even) about these fish and the anglers who chase them. That wouldn’t even begin to narrow it down.
In picking this list of the best striper lures, I didn’t just look at which baits generally catch the most fish, or which have caught some of my biggest striped bass.

How to Choose the Best Striped Bass Lures But consider some factors used in the selection process. Just as there are no definitive best rock songs (with the exception of “Born to Run”), the lures here largely reflect my opinion as a devoted surfcaster and will surely be debated.
The list changes based on countless variables, like time, place, atmosphere, and most of all, personal preference. Trying to narrow down hundreds of striped bass lures to the top 25 is like trying to name the 25 best rock songs of all time.
