I love the different materials used and colors are awesome! You will do well with these. As a side note I was able to finally fish my local river for smallies and had a blast with the Murdich minnow. Unfortunately we got more rain, so I don’t when I’ll be able to fish for smallies for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
