I used the old slider carpie bait. Now I'm a flip flop 'n socks man. These soft baits are easier to mount on the hook and I feel get perch and striper attention more.
Everything you do on the beach, speed and time are always a factor. So having an item that helps you switch your stick bait out quickly is a win. These clips also add to the jerk bait action.
I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet but the quality seems great. Durable but lightweight. Although I sometimes surf fish in just my board shorts, I'll have to find a way to attach it.
