I like shad colored poes as well as chartreuse for off color again poes I tried shaving the bills and it seems to get a little deeper. I also use an old mann super deep diver painted flat black amazing what hits it cats, stripers etc. I use 10 lb yozuri fluorcarbon on a 7 1/2 ft home made rainshadow med with a fast tip on an old Quantum 381 3.8 to 1 I have been using the new rubber grips on the power handle seems to allow for a longer day crankin without as much fatigue.
