Lemire's Plugworks Wave Jammer

Hand-built spook. Wide side-to-side action. The dawn-patrol plug.

The Lemire's Plugworks Wave Jammer is a hand-built wooden spook-style plug that walks the surface with the kind of slow, wide side-to-side action that pulls big stripers off the bottom in low light. Bigger and heavier than the standard wooden spook, the Wave Jammer casts well even on a windy morning, and the slow rhythm matches up perfectly with how big bass actually feed on the surface — not a frantic chase, but a deliberate ambush. Five colors covering natural bait and proven low-light patterns. Each plug is hand-poured and hand-painted, so no two are exactly the same.

Rigging & Use

• Slow, rhythmic rod tip work — let the plug do the walking, don't force it
• Pauses are critical — 4-5 walks, then a 2-second pause
• White / Yellow/White: the dawn and dusk colors
• Pogy / Herring: matches local baitfish — the everyday picks when bass are on bunker
• Squid: night fishing, dark water, low-light conditions
• Pair with 30-50 lb braid and a 40-50 lb fluoro leader on a 9' or 10' surf rod
• Upgrade trebles to VMC 9626PS or singles for cleaner fish releases

Why We Like It

Hand-poured wood plugs catch fish that production plastic plugs don't. The Wave Jammer specifically has the slow, deliberate cadence that big striped bass key on — it doesn't act like a panicked baitfish, it acts like a baitfish that's too dumb to know it's being watched. That's the trigger that pulls the biggest fish out of the depths. Lemire's is one of the few hand-pour builders still making plugs we can stock consistently. Worth the price tag for anyone serious about night surf or low-light striper fishing.
