Other hot plastic baits include sparkle beetles, Slimy Slugs and other soft plastic temptations. My favorite colors are a white twister tail grub or a white and pink flat paddle-tailed grub. I also like a root beer color with an orange tail. Purple and white or avocado and red cocahoes do well. Any bright swimming grub works.
Chartreuse is a good color.
I like baits that have some action, even just reeling it slow. Rue threw a plastic cocahoe toward the far shoreline and let it sink to the bottom. Slowly, he moved the bait from the shoreline to the shelf to the deeper channel. As the bait dropped off the shelf edge, a three-pound flounder engulfed the offering. Not built for speed, flounders waste little time taking the bait.
