Made and self-titled by Long Islander Danny Pichney, this surface swimmer weaves across the top of the water leaving a tremendous V-wake that striped bass find irresistible. Pichney has passed on, but his legacy lives in the Danny Plug. Plenty of builders make a version of this lure, and pretty much all of them will catch fish.

 

The Danny works great in calm water, and is flat-out awesome when retrieved through the whitewater left behind by crashing waves.
