Re: east coast Bass
I don't use attracters on most of my rigs and still catch plenty of bass and flounder ... A two hook rig either flapping or clipped with long snoods and size 1/0 hooks and fresh peeler as bait will put you in line for either species.... Hope this helps

Re: east coast Bass
I dont really think so, i would pay more attention to the tides, weather and wind direction first rather than picking a great rig and fish a flat calm, cold, easterly driven neap tide..!
