I just started surf fishing and had success with Gulp Sandworms. However, they do tear up. I've used zman products with bass fishing and I figure it's worth a shot for surf perch. Went out the 2nd time and wasn't getting hit with the sandworms. Decided to put this on at the top hook and ended catching two fish right away on them and the biggest two fish of the day. Like the trd ned, these thing stretch and will catch you plenty of fish on one bait. This and the sandworm will always be used on my double rig.

turns out this lure the watermelon red out fished my other lure for red tail perch and it lasted longer so is cheaper in the long run very high quality

Z-Man CrusteaZ still my go to everytime I hit the surf. I recommend getting all the different colors. If the fish aren't biting one color, they will bite another. It's all due to weather conditions and time of day. They catch all types of surf fish. From from shore or on the pier.

This small soft plastic is amazing. I’ve been using this soft plastic to catch trout, flounder, and the odd red fish. It works really well and doesn’t rip easy. Rigged with a 1/8th or 1/16th this soft plastic is fish candy!
