Most lures are flashes in the pan – popular for one year and then they fade – the NorthBar Tackle Bottledarter has become a fixture in surf bags all along the striper coast and beyond. Great in almost any conditions from calm to rough, this lure slowly wobbles and returns to the surface if you stop retrieving it. Otherwise, it digs nicely into the surf. Some have even experimented with weighting it for even more casting distance, something the lure wasn’t lacking in the first place.
