I've reconsidered

Can you eat what you catch with it?

Is that a Gamme front treble?

Honestly Champ, after an introspective afternoon (also known as trying to cool down after cutting grass when it was way hotter than I thought it was) of thinking about the Ned fin I think you have your hands on the obvious winner of the next OBBT. Your fortune is made, and handshakes from KVD are just a cast away.

I love it. Might even get a handshake from ol' Mark!

Is that a Gamme front treble?

Yeah, Bill, that's a Gammy EWG No. 2. It has a bent leg. This was just an old Fin I had laying around that never really ran right. I've had a lot of success with Fins and the summarized version of my modifications to the bait include:

Remove all the factory hooks and split rings

Replace with smaller diameter rings

Replace hooks with a No. 2 or 4 Gammy EWG on the front and a No. 2 Gammy EWG feather treble on the back.

Put 2-3 Storm SuspenStrips on the belly portion at the veryIf back of the main section of the lure

Put several coats of nail polish over the SuspenStrips (white polish if it's a white-belly lure; clear polish if it's a silver-belly lure)

Do not try to heat and bend the bill of the lure. Some people have success with this, but usually you'll just mess up the bait.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip Champ. I'll gladly take the business end of any of your future NedFins!?

Now I know what too much heat will do to a person. Too funny.

The creativity of the human brain amazes me at times.

You sir, are the Edison Edsel of the fishing world. Who else could have thought of this?

Fixed that one for you sir.
