 The Striper Coast

Striped Bass fishermen are a unique breed of angler,typically venturing out along rocky stretches of beach in heavy surf under cover of darkness in search of the elusive trophy.
Successful stripermen must consider a whole host of factors including wind,tide,current,type of bait in a particular area...the list goes on. Lure selection is a critical component in the overall outcome and should not be overlooked.

Why Choose Nocturnal?

Fishermen are bombarded with an array of gimmicks and glitzy ad campaigns touting the "new and improved" or "breakthrough" catch all lure.
We all have a fishing buddy with a tackle box loaded to the brim with the latest and greatest gadgets introduced into the fishing world.
Over time,most anglers find that a scaled down selection of go to lures is sufficient. The selection found in the experienced striperman's tackle bag of today, with the exception of soft plastics,hasn't changed much since the 1940's.
Danny's,pikies,pencil poppers etc. have historically produced trophy bass year in and year out.
Our plug designs hold true to the originals built by my grandfather back in1929.

Over many years we have dedicated countless hours developing proprietary manufacturing techniques that ensure consistant quality, superior castability, unmatched action and tough as nails durability.

 
 

   

















What Sets us apart

(1) Precision Balancing - We utilize the same precision balancing techniques commonly used in the manufacture of components for the aerospace industry which ensures that our plugs will perform flawlessly right out of the package.

(2) Integrated Lip Design - Metal lipped swimmers depend on the lip to produce the desired swimming action.
Besides their need for tuning,metal lips are prone to coming loose,can fray line and leader material and produce aerodynamic drag during the cast, limiting distance.
Our integrated lip design is aerodynamically superior to the metal lip design,allowing for longer,smoother casts.
Action is relative to retrieve speed,allowing the angler to effectively fish from the surface to approximately 4 feet by simply varying the speed.

(3) Price - As builders we can appreciate the effort and costs involved in producing a quality lure.
We keep our costs low by developing our tooling in house,greatly minimizing manufacturing costs while increasing productivity and reducing waste.

(4) Customer Service - When you become a Nocturnal customer you can rest assured that you'll be treated like an old friend.Total Customer satisfaction is our #1 priority.
