It's produced some surprises. A few years back I got tired of watching @Randall Clark putting on a rockfish clinic at BV Jetty, while I was gettting blanked on anchovy patterns. In desperation I downsized to a #8 krystal krill thinking the smaller rockfish might like it. Or maybe pick up a perch, greenling, herring ... anything. A few casts later hatchery coho was on the menu!I know for a fact that one produces![]()

Couldn't believe it when it peeled some line and could see silver flashing in the depths. Still need to get my jetty rockfish game dialed though. Maybe I can talk you into a tutoring session at BV this summer.that was soooo awesome! "I got one"....."wait, this doesn't feel like a rockfish should..."
Silver Surfer for the win! IMHO. It's been my go to lately.I would definitely go with one of these. I've never timed myself tying one but I'd bet money I could crank one out in about 2 minutes
