im a huge fan of the 1.75 fry.. its the only bait i use to trout fish here in so cal... the color of choice for me me and the few people that use my baits is solid black or black pearl... I ended up with a 9.5 lber this weekend(yes these are farm raised trout). This bait also works great for those little brook trout in the streams up here.. They devour it.. I will try and post a pic if i can figure out how to get it from my phone to the site..
