Worth the money and more

This lure always squeaks out a fish even when not in current. It behaves very oddly in the water but fish love it. try casting it into rockpiles from the boat

---

Pros: Caches big fish
Cons: Hooks break off
Recommended: Yes

Bad hooks

This lure has a serious fault in the hooks used. They are an open eye type and when larger fish - 30 pounds and up - roll when hooked the hook eye snaps off. Did it several times just handling it and once when a very large fish was lost. My son and I were pretty disgusted and had to retrofit with better treble hooks secured by 80# split rings. Not something that should be happening at the price we paid for them.

Pros: Montauk guys started using them this year

Recommended: Yes

Well regarded

Super strike darters are in a class of their own when it comes to a larger profile.I'm waiting for those Mtk Bass to swim by in the next few weeks

Pros: consistent, cheap
Cons: hooks
Recommended: Yes

great plug

I love superstrike darter period! this color is Bill Wetzel specs which right there is a great warranty. Took the plug out of thebag and the only tap i had that nite on the north shore was on this plug. (Too bad that i left cause the lightning got pretty scary. ) It's a great plug that swims right out of the box. Gets 4 stars just cause they still keep on using the same not high quality hooks so everytime i have to change em as soon as i buy the plug........

Awesome Fish Producing Plug

This plug is a fish catching classic. I got thi plug and it was my first darter but once I started using it I found it to be a great plug. This plug is another fine example of Super Strikes top notch quality. Try this plug next time you are looking to purchase a plug and you will not be disappointed.

SS Zig Zag

This lure is awesome - casts a mile and as it says, it works awesome in fast moving water, esp shallow fast moving water - covers a great deal of water, and real durable. Only con is I have to swap out the hooks.

---

Pros: price, fish catching ability
Cons: hooks
Recommended: Yes

Awesome lure

Overall this has been a very productive lure for me when used in a strong current at night. I have an assortment of colors and all have caught fish. My only complaint is that the hook quality is lacking.

---

Pros: casts well, swims true, indestructible
Recommended: Yes

nice darter

a good fish catcher in the fall, priced well considering its effectiveness

---

Pros: Inexpensive, durable, and catches fish
Cons: hooks
Recommended: Yes

Great lure

One of my main "to go to" lures for nighttime use in strong currents. Although the hooks could be better the lure itself is great. Casts great, durable, and is a reliable fish catcher.

---

Pros: Easy to cast, inexpensive, and catches fish.
Cons: hooks
Recommended: Yes

Great lure!

Easy to cast, great for rips and strong current. Not good for daytime use or slow/ no current

---

Pros: catches fish
Cons: lousy hooks
Recommended: Yes

Mr. Hanky rules

The SS darter is great in any moving water (rips, breachways). Rides higher in the water than wider body darters, so you can use it in rockier spots. Casts well too. I was introduced to this color by a sharpie on Martha's Vineyard, where this plug is affectionately known as "Mr. Hanky"

---

Pros: Great Color
Recommended: Yes

Boneman

This lure is def one I would carry for evening / night assaults in moving water... great action too

---

Recommended: Yes

Great lure

Evening time, night time, moving water, this lure has great action and produces

---

Recommended: Yes

Good stuff

I prefer this over the all yellow. I've even caught good bass on it during the daytime. If you know you're going to be fishing a rip and you could only bring one plug, this would be it!

---

Recommended: Yes

wierd, but works.

I'm not quite sure what this imitates, other than lobsters or sea robins. Nonetheless this plug can coax bites when other colors just won't. Try coating with smelly jelly for an extra kick.

---

Recommended: Yes

Go-to at night in current

I caught more >20 lb bass on this lure this spring than any other. Buy two and switch out the hooks- one with 3/0 VMCs, one with 4/0. Use the 4/0 in harder current, helps it dig a little more. Great plug.

---

Recommended: Yes

Good plug

Not as good as the all black model (IMO), but still great. Swap the hooks, cast into a rip, reel slow with a twitch every now and then and hang on!

---

Pros: Tough, inexpensive, flat out catches
Cons: POS hooks (but you knew that)
Recommended: Yes

If you could only have one . . .

This is THE color for this plug. I've had the yellow darter crush fish in nights I couldn't see my hand in front of my face as well as nights so bright you could read a news paper. In places of current and sweep this is the first darter out of my bag and RARELY do I have to rotate to black/white/parrot/etc.

---

Pros: color, craftsmanship
Cons: hooks
Recommended: Yes

Catches Fish

This is one of the first plugs I will reach for at night when fishing good current. Hooks will need to be replaced with VMCs. 4/0 up front and a dressed siwash in the rear with a crushed barb. Caught my first fish of 2010 on this bad boy!

---

Pros: Great durability
Cons: none at all
Recommended: Yes

Borange

This color darter is a close guarded secret among surfrats. I recommend it to everyone, its a great imitation of a sea robin

---

Pros: Finish and Durability
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes

SS Yellow Darter

One of my favorite plugs of all time, a lure that produces from arpil to december. The SS darter is a plug you can use in fast and slow moving water. From the rocks and from the sand. Truly a universal plug and should be a staple in any cowhunters surfbag.

---

Pros: Durability and Finish
Cons: None at all
Recommended: Yes

Smokey Joe Darter

My go to plug when I am not eeling. Its a great search lure when your first starting out a night session, the darter is a unique lure with its ability to swim at different depths depending on the way you work it. They can also be loaded to work in heavy surf or deeper water

---

Recommended: Yes

ziggy

Good bait profile. I like using darters on beaches because the waves do all work. This plug is easy to use. Its like flying kite. Take up the slack and let the waves do the work.

---

Pros: tremendous fish catching ability
Cons: swap out the hooks
Recommended: Yes

Great Plug Great Price

The darter is a deadly lure for striped bass, and also one of the toughest to make for plug builders. I like this plug on a dark night, fished slow and twithcing the rod every 3 ****** or so, somewhere with a good current. I opt to swap out the hooks that come on the plug for VMC's.

---

Pros: Color, Design, Action in the Water
Cons: Hooks will need to be replaced with VMCs
Recommended: Yes

Striper Candy

Last May I had a big Striper smack this lure and jump clear out of the water. They attack this lure! Can only give it 4 stars because of the hooks.

Cons: weak hooks

Darter Supreme

Hands down Super Strikes darters have accounted for many large fish caught in the surf, more than any other lure and that's fact. They cast extremely well and have a swimming action that can't be beat!!

---

Pros: The best all around Darter
Cons: none
Recommended: Yes

Super Strike Zig Zag (Yellow / White)

It's all good! The body shape creates one of the best darting actions I've ever seen.

One of the most productive surf lures made

This is one of the most productive surf lures made. Try it anywhere there is some current. Rivers, around breachways and inlets, tide rips or when the wind gets a sweep going on the beach.Best retrieve is usually medium slow and steady. Bass and blues love it (or hate it!) but either way they eat it.The Montauk guys seem to favor yellow but I have had the best luck with black, black/purple and amber. Mostly a night plug, in my experience, although I have tried them on stormy days and guess what- they caught fish!

---

I still remember the run on Super Strike Darters when Zeno Hromin's book, "The Art of Surfcasting with Lures" came out. Calling the Zig Zag a 'favoirte' would be an understatement. Applying the website's default sorting (which takes into account the popularity of each product) SS darters account for 4 out of the top 5 fishing lures. That's incredible, but speaks volumes about the popularity and productivity of this lure.

Although I haven't fished Montauk myself, I know to bring a yellow Super Strike zig zag darter with me in my plug bag. They're that well known and are proven fish catchers all over. From the Cape to Rhode Island and beyond, if I can throw a zig zag I'll bring at least one along with me.
