....with the hook slot. Pearl with red hi lite belly. The fish just smoked this bait today. Pike and Bass, with 2 of the the Bass running about 5 pounds.
Seen here rigged with a 1/16 weighted hook and the hook's barb end fully hidden in the hook slot. Rigged as such this is proving to be a super weedless combo. The Pro Blue is a solid producer right now with a strong watermelon/ heavy purple .040 glitter over pearl with black flake being a strong second best.
All of our fish today came from less that 4 feet of 75 degree water. A Spro frog got a couple off the top before the sun got strong on the water. 13 fish came on Rippers rigged like I've described. Putting that blade in the mold for the hook pocket has been super rewarding.
