I like a 1/2 oz with a #5 or #7 Colorado blade. Nickel blade on most nights, black on full moon nights. I prefer black and purple with a few strands of pink in the skirt. I use a dark colored Zoom Fat Albert as a trailer. I usually fish it on 15lb mono. A catfish or a drum will dang near snatch the rod out of your hand and totally destroy the wire. (I prefer 0.40 wire on Guntersville). Anywhere else I downsize to a 3/8 oz with a #5 blade and 0.35 wire. As previously mentioned, hang on to your britches if they are on it.


The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
