Birdsnest - xrap 15's, 20's and 30's with the "20"s being the most popular. We fished the "bunker" the "sardine", "bonito" and the "green mack" and have not noticed any difference in color preference. Down south some guys swear by the purple/black color. The diving ones have a two inch plastic bill and can be trolled up to 14 mph without weight. you can get them at wholesale sports in Nanaimo but expect to pay $20 each. Cabelas has them on sale for $15. The proper name is Rapala x-rap magnum 20.
The Wash/Oregon guys also use the older diving rapalas with the willowleaf shaped metal bill. They seem to work but the bill will get bent and they need to be "retuned".
Look into the SPOT device. For the price of an epirb, everyone on board can have a SPOT in their pocket. I have no idea why these are not more popular. It will save you!
