But so far no mention of old vs new warts, jerkbait colors, etc. Has to be a win on balance right?

I hear that the pre-Rapala ned rigs work a lot better than the new Storm version. Something to do with old molds and lead balls.

I was thinking about trying 5 balls of Power Bait on a trout A Rig. Has anyone experimented with which 5 colors might work best?

LOL! Might try chartreuse, red, pink, yellow and white. Were you thinking full size A Rig or maybe the yum flash mob Jr?

Well, I'll have to have some 5 hook models for Arky and 3 hook versions for MO, but FULL SIZE all the way.

HA HA! Be sure to let us know how that works for you.

Some of the slick fish types need to give the little rig a spin down on Taney. Have seen some nice trout pics sent by Ned.

I caught quite a few trout the last couple years out of Lake Shawnee in Topeka (same lake Ned usually does his "bass fishing for trout" on). PB&J and pink were my 2 best colors and they do smack them awfully hard, sometimes about take the rod from you.

[Ham]

Awesome! I have an excuse to buy some pink ones now.

[Champ188]

You will look cute throwing those pink ones, Ham. Be sure and throw a few extra dollars in for one of those divine little trout vests and maybe the wooden-frame "minnow net" for dipping up your catch.

Not ashamed to say I even make matching heads for them

Big smallies like that pink head too. The candy purple looks great with a PB&J zinker

[Champ188]

Good-looking heads, bluebasser. I love to paint my shaky heads purple. About the pink ... Guido Hibdon says big smallmouth love it. I figure he's caught enough of them to know what he's talking about.
