What are your favorite colors? I am having a hard time choosing colors.

thanks guys. which should I try, the Yo Zuri Hybrid or the Yo Zuro Hybrid Ultra Soft?

Which yozuri hybrid line do you use for baitcasters? I know the Ultra Soft is supposed to be a spinning line; however I know some people are using them on baitcasters. What is the advantage?

I don't know how the peacocks behave in North America, but I would give a try to x-raps, Zara Spook Jr, Rebel Jumpin' Minnow T-10. Fish them fast. Bone colors are the best. Right before it gets dark is the best time. Try the BONE/CHARTREUSE T-10.

Here is the fish:

Reel: Daiwa Alphas R edition.

Isn't this fish also called snakehead? There is a similar fish here, it is called Traira. I have a photo of a small one, but I can not post it yet.

What kind of line do you use for jig fishing? Are braided lines good for this application?

Peacocks bass are from the Amazon, but nowadays they can be found in most areas of Brazil. The 20+ can only be found in the Amazon, but there are other kinds of peacock bass that can tolerate colder weather however they are smaller (like the blue and the yellow peacock bass). The colder place they live in South America now is the reservoir of Itaipu Dam, however many fish still die during the winter.

Does anyone have a photo of a dogfish?

That is sad, the fish probably died. That is not something a guide should do. Trairão is a great fish.

very nice male.

Made about 5 trips there in years past and remember when this style or design first got going. Maybe next time I go, I need to chase them down. Haven't heard how effective they are with the bass here but will ck around for info. Big O The favorite color over here for peacock bass is #19. Rummors say that the rattle of this bait was based on the rattle of an brazilian bait named DR. SPOCK from KV baits. Some people are using it for blue fish too.

Those are great for peacock bass. Their price in Brazil is ridiculous.
