I was sent some colors to try out by one of the pro staffers from Big Hammer, actually Pete Wolf the owner. I've got them in a box in the boat. I'll dig them out tomorrow and post the patterns he sent me. I used them only briefly on opening weekend with no resluts. However, I don't think I gave them much of a shot. I guess Larry Herron (Calico Hunter) had pretty good results with them in late February at Cachuma.

That's what got me interested. Have not had a chance to fish Crowley much yet, got a leak in the bow I'm attending to. Should be on the water in a week or so. Usually that Bubble Gum Needlfish produces pretty well. Last season they were also doing well with the Husky Jerk Ghost Minnow.
