Decided to give it a nice magenta to replace the ugly nasty ring that was on the spool. Gotta get some real greae next as I only had 3 in 1 oil to get it cleaned up. But it did well on the lake when I brought it out. Attached to an old Spider Web UL 4.6" rod. Reminded me of when I learned to fish as a kid.
Lake Fulmor in Idyllwild CA was biting today. Lots of smallies but staged a few decent sized ones for a meal. Got them marinating in some Louisiana Crystal Hot Sauce atm. Today will be my 3rd day in a week going to that lake while I've been on my staycation from work. Definitely had the most success today. About a half pount on each of these guys. Had a couple more that a friend told.
All rods used had a 6lb flurocarbon leader and they were biting about 3-5ft under the top. All colors of powerbaits and nightcrawlers were hitting all day.
