I had one that I fished so much on the Harpeth River growing up, that I had to superglue the bill back on twice. I still have it, but its so worn out that I only hold on to it to remember all of the good days it gave me. I could literally out fish the same size and almost the same color Rapala 3-1, much to my fishing partners disgust.

The bill finally fell off for good. I would guess that plug caught at least 100 fish before it finally gave up. Thats a 300 size.

Looks like you can find them on ebay for $11.99 with free shipping.

Kimberman, steady retrieve or twitching on top?

 

[Kimberman]

Twitching on top. Good grief I'm getting old, that was 20 years ago. The section of the Harpeth I used to fish when I was a kid has changed a ton since then.

A little store down in rock island carruies the ac shiner. and its top on my list for muskies!

Ther kind of hard to find sure nuff, one store down the road keeps them, I always buy sevral every time when I go in (at nearly $9 apiece), have about 15-20stashed away for the apocolypse.

But have to say its my all time fave fish'n plug & you can tell it by looking in my tackle box, they (to me) have a better action the the rapala (love rapalas also), but no matter how you fish them they'll produce.

I love to watch the top water take, I'll find me some weeds,stand'n timber,lilly pads & fling it out, let it sit until the rings spread out about 4 feet then twitch it....wait for it....twitch....SMASH!!!!!
Or reel it in & give it a qiuk jerk then get back on the reel before the shiner breaks the surface, or just fast & hard as you can, they'll pull the rod out of your hand, love it.

Maybe its just the nostagia of fish'n the same plugs I did as a kid, but I just have a love for the shiners, think I'll go buy more this weekend.

Pretty much learned to fish with a 300. They also work good as suspending jerkbaits if you add suspend dots on them.
