The Northbar Tackle Bottledarter is extremely versatile and can be fished a variety of different ways.
- On those flat calm nights, the Bottledarter can be swam on the surface much like a metal lip. A painfully slow retrieve makes a nice wiggle and produces a surface wake that is sure to entice some nice fish.
- On open beach without much current, a slow steady retrieve works very well. Mix in a few twitches of the rod tip to really make the lure dart.
- The Bottledarter lure loves current rips. Cast this lure out and just take up the slack to remain in contact with the lure as it sweeps. Every once and a while take a full crank on the reel while lifting your rod tip (you will feel the lure really swim). Reel down slowly while keeping tension on the line. Repeat this retrieve and hold on!
- Loaded with 10cc's of liquid. Northbar's testing shows that a loaded Bottledarter casts very well. The action is slightly different than unloaded. The lure has more darting action and has already taken some very nice fish!

Holds well in current, does not cast as well as you hoped but can be loaded

This plug holds well in current, sweep and rougher conditions where a bomber, salt pro etc.. will wash out.
Does not cast as well as you want it to, but can be loaded. Upgrade hardware to 4/0 mustads and you will get a little extra weight and the plug will swim a little deeper as well

Pros
- Holds current well and swims good in rough water
Cons
- Dos not cast as far as an SS bottle plug, but you can load these and they will cast a little better. I use mineral oil to load, some casters prefer BB's

Faced with a heave or really strong sweep? The Northbar Bottle really digs in and doesnt get washed out no matter how big the surf is. These plugs put big fish on the beach!

Great action, big profile
April 9, 2019
Great durability, through wire construction, tight wobble, high quality components.
Overall, this lure is great when trying to match a bigger profile bait.

Catches when nothing else does

Literally nothing else I threw would get hit, mind you there were stripers everywhere feasting
On adult bunker, after tirelessy casting everything in my plug bag I desperately reached for my north bar in hopes I could coax a hit. First cast..... BOOM, fish on as my drag hisses at me signaling a good fish. After a slow but steady tug of war, 25 pounds of striped bass lay at my feet. Nothing quite like it get yourself one

Pros
- plastics sure made the difference.. woods are great but no bullet proof to the blues assassins.

Northbars are my go to plugs! I've never failed to catch monsters with the blue mackeral bottledarter. I have been using Northbars for over a year now and have been catching monster snooks, bull reds, and blacktips.
Pros
- Casts well, various color schemes to choose from
