Fisherman's Marine should have them. It was my understanding they were going to stock. Don't know if they've gotten a shipment (or even if they ordered). I'm out of the loop but passing on what I remember from conversations during the testing I did for STS.

Fisherman's marine ordered them a few weeks back, and should have them in stock now. If you want a full selection of the plugs you can buy them online from our website

How bout Outdoor Emporium, Sportco, or Teds? Any of them gonna carry them? Oh and by the way I ran the Golden Shiner for a bit on Sunday. No fish "yet" on it but I was impressed at how straight and true she ran right out of the package and when the sun hit the gold on the sides it looked awesome! I was able to get great action from it even in water with little current. I ended up loosing a plug to a snag that day and am glad it wasn't the Lindy plug! I like it. Once it catches a fish it will get a name.

Side by side how close is one of these to a Tad?

What!?!? You don't even own a gear rod!!!




If he is in than I'm in. HEHE.

Could be one of those "closet" guys

Any feed back?

How did I miss this freebie? Dang.

I'm out so I'm not in this time.

I've been testing out the River Rockers 3/16th and the 5/16th, color Pink Shiner, for the last 4 weeks. They work every bit as well as my old tadpollys. I've caught pinks, silvers and a few kings on them so far. I haven't targeted steelies with them yet but I'm confident enough of them that I won't have any problem trying them for steelhead. I just started using the "coward" model on silvers in the lower Skagit and it's working great with a little pro cure anchovie gel on the belly so far. I would love a couple of different color profiles for the PNW though. A larger magnum size would be wonderful as well. If you're interested in making a few models for up here let me know.

Here's the pinks we kept last friday we caught on the 3/16th Pink Shiners down at red barn on the lower Skagit.

i just weighed both the "ROCKER " and the leathal "BW29 " plugs.

although i have not casted the Rocker it seems from the scales it may be abit light to cast with a baitcaster.


the Brad's wiggler i know is a easy caster with a baitcaster.



anyone cast the rocker from shore, say with 12# or 15#?

Three Rivers Marine has a good supply of them hanging on the pegs.

These are great looking plugs.

Anyone that says that they can get any range with a .28 oz plug, levelwind and 12 -15# is lyin'.
What's that, a dope scale ?

@brewer- How are you rocking the hook on the BW29? Are you using a 3 bead chain off the belly?

I casted them from shore off a spinning reel quite a few times. I've tried it with 10# braid on a bait caster. It worked OK.. not outstanding. I think the lighter design gives it a little more lively action.

Less weight means more action... generally

i use a either a big swivel in between the split rings, or a 4 bead chain. finished with a rvr sickle siwash.

i have not tried a blue wiggler like eyefish dude was sharing. i may try that also.

the rvr sickle is a must!
