[cool][#0000ff]Yeah, I have had a couple of requests to bring some goodies for the tubers' swap meet meeting.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]That red glitter head...and other lures...was the culmination of many experiments with different colors of red over the years. It is the most time consuming to make but is hands-down the deadliest color in my arsenal. I have used it on just about every plastic color available. But the epitome is that red/chartreuse tube L'il Hustler by Southern Pro.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I think you saw some of the prototypes of the experiments with adding "t
le" blades to the small tube heads...including the wobble heads. Man, I am having fun with those. And the fishies vote for them too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I usually quit using waders when the water temps stay above 65. That's also when daytime air temps get warm enough that the cool water feels good by midday. I guess some of us are tougher than others. Or maybe it's because I'm just numb at both ends.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]One great thing about kitties when they hit lures. They definitely ain't delicate about it. Never a doubt when they smack it. The water had some good clarity yesterday and that always increases the ability of cats to become sight feeders...and to hit lures. And in the warming waters those cats are really brawlers. On the light tackle I was using for the whities they beat me up pretty good before crawling in my net. Maybe if they knew they would all be released they might have given up quicker.[/#0000ff]
