Iβm registered for the SUF RETREAT are you? Iβm pulling this rig down with me and bringing a old Army Buddy. I canβt wait.
After watching Bβs video about red baits all I saw for a few days is red. Tried to use Kisrel UV Resin on these. It is definitely a learning process. Working on Perch 2 megabass 110 and a GP Pro Blue(ish) style IMA crankbaits. Those are in the helping hands getting ready for clear coat on one. Still a little work to finish the Perch. More soon.
Havenβt done a lot of crappie fishing before (so much fishing to do, so little time), but I feel like this is a fair size slab. I may just have to target these next time!
Let's all screenshot these 3 pages....and put it to use.. it couldn't hurt and might even help...
