Enjoy all your videos, Zeno. I'm a 62-y/o rookie surfcaster and am learning a lot. Appreciate you guys taking the time to produce these videos.

I've been fishing lures for 40 years and I learned something from this video. Good job man !

Great video that not only tells you everything you need to know about darters, but also reading and adjusting to conditions. Thanks!

We appreciate your time Z, thank you!

Watching all your videos form San Antonio, TX. Not all of the information is applicable, but there is still a bunch of great information on surf casting and lessons for any kind of fishing.

Ty Zeno , learning the "when" to use a lure is way more important than the "how"

Great info Zeno and thanks. I appreciate your straight forward, non- B.S. approach to explain things!

Always a treat Zeno! From one teacher to another, you do great work! Thanks for your help!

Thanks Z, everyone has different techniques and opinions. I always try to stay open minded and always try to learn as much as I can. S.C.J produces some great videos , very informative. Your videos have definitely helped me improve as a Surf Caster.

Subscribed. I live on the gulf coast of Florida. Though I don't have Striped Bass to chase, after many years of beach fishing, I have recently become addicted to casting big lures in the surf. Thank you for a very educational channel. It really is helpful to someone like myself in an area where nobody fishes using these techniques and lures.

Outstanding! video Zeno!!! Thank You for your hard work and dedication to posting these video's and sharing your knowledge with us....

Thank you Zeno for the luer education every video I get a little smarter

This video helped me out a lot. Now I know what I was doing wrong and will adjust THANKSaa

Enjoy your videos 👍 thanks for the good info.

Darters work great in current you are 100% correct. But they also can be used in still water if you work the plug with the rod. Moving the rod tip back to induce the darting action and then reeling the slack smoothly, and then a quick yank, and repeat these types of rod tricks. A quick pause every 8-10 seconds can also induce a strike. But it’s important to keep a smooth transition between these rod tricks and the slack in the line. Gibbs darters are great for this approach because they are more buoyant. This strategy has done great for me over the years in MTK and Jamaica Bay. The smaller size Gibbs darters are really good for this. The action is deadly when worked with these rod tricks. Thanks for all your videos they are great.

THANKS from 0 stripers Idaho....Ive learned Everything about Surf fishing from You...and these videos! Keep it up!

Great job! Thank you for covering the why, when, where and how. Can’t wait for more of these.

I always enjoy the videos you put out and always look forward for the next ones. I’ve learned quite a bit from them and want to say thank you and keep it up!!!

Thanks for taking the time boss

I'm on LBI & now I know why not many guys use Darters. I use Metal Lips & they work great. Thanks for the insight Zeno..

Awesome video. Thanks guys!

Another awesome 👏 video!

Thanks for a great video I've read your book the hunt for big strippers .I'm just getting comfortable with darters . Thanks for all your help and tight lines

Love the videos Zeno hoping to be come successful this year on the surf here in long island.

Thanks for the Vid Z

Who remembers Jack “The Professor”Freck? How about Stan Gibbs? I caught a ton of stripers on his famous “Bottle Plug”!

Great Video Zeno.

You Guys are Great!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Love this video. I dont use them enough.

Great tips & information im from Australia but i want to try the darter for the Silver Ghost we have down here when the mullet run is on in the surf in winter ....

Z good info bro will you plug guys. Listen to this man he catches some good fish. I’m a big guy fishing bait quite a lot of big fish that’s just the way I like the fish . Tight lines all smokin Joe

Great video Zeno! Keep em coming!! Do a video like this on dannyplugs.

Thanks Zeno appreciate the info

I find that a darter (especially with a wide slope) retrieved slowly in calm water has the most incredible life like action. You hafta experiment with it. Tuning the darter is usually necessary. No other lure has a more seductive action. I do well.

Bout to head out and buy me a few darters

Great video, i fish recreationally, i just bought what i thought was a darter,(yozuri mag darter) caught 5 sea robbins in the L.I Sound, i have alot to learn.

Thank you

Thank you for the education on these lures! By any chance does anyone know who makes the old man darters?

I have bever caught anything on darter. After watching this video I now know where too go

I can get a darter to dart in calm water, you just need to pump the rod in a good timing and retrieve at the proper speed. It is not likely to catch striper though unless the water is murky. There are many plugs i would have more success with.

What’s the difference with how you fish a darter and a metal lip? They seem to function the same way but you suggested otherwise. I fish the the gulf and Atlantic water beaches around Florida.

I guess you can call it Charlestown but I’m with the campers

That darter that you didn’t know, I think I see BF at the end of it, if it is then it is a Big Fischer darter I believe

How about the Jeobaggs Swarter? I love it!

How deep does a super strike or a TA sub darter usually swim?
