When Color Matters?
At a 2 day tournament last weekend both my boater and I started throwing hard baits with minimal success. We went to a spot where he practiced at 2 days before and wanted to start there. My strength is all things plastic so after an hour I changed to a honey candy Cut R and had one within 5 minutes. Because of the way it took it I decided to change size and color and went with a black and blue 7" ribbon tail and had a limit in 2 hours with better quality fish. I was running low so changed to the same bait but in a 2 tone light accent red and stayed with it most of the day. The 2nd day I started with the same red but was running low so I started alternating between them both but it didn't matter. I was culling by 10:00 and went big girl hunting the rest of the day. Maybe it was because they were both a darker hue compared to a light watermelon I don't know. What I do know is that color on both days with the same presentation useing the same weight, hook size and line didn't matter. Mike

KLX vs ALX
Good Evening On a few recent threads there were discussions comparing each of these rods with others, both off the shelf and blanks. I was wondering how they would compare to each other. ie actions, powers, sensitivity, quality of construction etc. I'll be useing it bottom contact plastics only and comparing the consensus to a comparable St. Croix or Loomis Thanks Mike

Kinda proud!
Good thought Rich! Just before I leave I was gonna ask if anyone fished Lanier and for advise about what to use. As a co angler I'm hoping to draw boaters who have experience there. Thanks Mike

When Color Matters?
Depending on what I'm throwing. If its a moving bait (crank, trap, walking frog, spinnerbait, chatterbait) I'll change colors if I'm convinced I'm on fish, and then only after I experiment with different depths, weight and retrieves. For plastics I'll change styles and rof before I change colors. For moving topwater's I rarely change colors thinking thats the reason I'm not getting bit. I'll more times than not just give it up and change to a whole different presentation.. Mike

Most Sensitive rod for 150-200$
If you don't care about having the newest and most popular of today's market, I suggested you locate a Fenwick Techna AV on e bay.. At one time they were considered a top of the line rod, but unfortunately they were discontinued about 8-9 years ago.. But as I've said before, I'd put that rod up against anything made today by anybody. Mike

Any Lures with a Perfect Record?
Ya know After I hit send I thought about it more.,There have been times the two I posted didn't produce. Not many but it has happened. Just this past weekend at the BFL Championship. I started with the Cut R but because we were in search mode I changed, which ended up being the absolute best move I made all year! Soooo, I rescind my previous response. ? Mike
