Members of the Plum Island Surfcasters have been using Charlie Graves tins to catch striped bass for years. These lures are difficult to find. But, they available in various sizes and styles at Surfland Bait and Tackle.
I am a big fan of flies on metals. I dress my Charlie Graves tins with my custom Lefty Deceiver flies. I use Tactical Anglers power clips to secure the fly to the tin. Why? Two reasons. First, they give the fly more action! Second, they make fly exchanges quick and easy!!
Charlie Graves tins are available with and without a keel. They are also available in tin and non-tin. I use the models with a keel in high current areas and the models without a keel in the surf. The tin and non-tin models function the same. But, I have a basis for the tin models.
If you fish the surf, then carry some Charlie Graves tins in your plug bag! Post your fish pics with #CharlieGravesTins. 😉
