Thanks Pete.  I am going to try the senorita color.  By the
way what BH color would be closest to purple or dark purple? 
This could be very effective for lings because up north lings
love to bite live blue rockfish or black rockfish.

An alternative to the egg sinker is to use a sliding jig (in
line, hooks removed) above the bead and 1.5 oz. leadhead for
extra weight and flash as Capt. Bacon of the Wavewalker does.

It is interesting how different the standards are for leadhead
weights between socal and norcal.  My son and I have jigged up
many a ling, cabezon, and rockfish in norcal on swimbaits with
up to 8 oz. leadheads, but this is straight jigging, not the
calico 101 method.  Tackle shops there routinely stock these
sizes.

By the way, where can I buy BHs in the Santa Cruz - Half Moon
Bay - San Francisco area?
