Dick, I'm jealous. Mind hasn't come yet. Will check the mail once I get home, since you order the same time that I did.

 

I order the two sets of 2", 2.5", 3", and the 4". I also order 6 additional 2.5" for the ultralight rigs I have in mind between 1/32 and 1/8oz. So excite. A few other guys from the other forums are as well. We're going stir crazy waiting for them. Boys and toys?! LOL

That is my arsenal for shell crackers and of coarse they catch bluegills also.

Leo got my Bullet Bobbers today. Looks like they will be fun I'm looking forward to using them.

I got the 3" and some 2 1/2  inch and 2 inch should have about everything covered.

Nice combo of spinners Dick! Love the color coverage on the orange-yellow-green spinner. Looks like you have the XPS shad-gill from Bass Pro at the bottom right, and a worn out lady bug scheme on the left. Is that a rattler on 2nd from the bottom right?! The upper Colorado and modified oval leaves will have those fish chasing these spinners like a nice cold Coke in dead of summer. Very beautiful collection.

David I don't have very many Mepps inline spinners there selection is really lousy. I do have a few but mostly rooster tails, lazer eyes, a few panther martins and some other stuff. I inserted picture to show my inline spinner shellcracker arsenal. Yo will see I love dark collors my favorite being black body with black feather and a copper blade with I can't seem to find anymore. But here are a few that I use...

HEY LEO,

  I Like all the color combinations you are speaking of here and seems like the west coast has it's share of inovators out there!

  Thanks TOOTY

Tooty, half and half. The black and gold sprinkle is Jeff Soto's idea for the 1/32 and 1/16oz jigs. Hit them like a hammer. The color schemes for the tighter stripes is from the Skeeter daredevles I have. They latch onto them like kids to candies. I also tried tipping the spoons with small pieces of chewing gum, and add cake sprinkles to them. It's a dinner bell for all species due to the molasses content used to make the candies. I also use a mini marshmallow on either to make the "float" version of the spoon, crank, or jig. Big it in the a passing school. the purple and silver is from a Rapala Shad X (2.5") floater crank. Powerful magnet that will take down bass, trout, and panfish. I got two. The yellow-green attract the bass, but not the panfish. Purple-silver will get hammer very frequently. Same go with the Yo-Zuri snapbean shads with the green top silver bottom.

GREAT answers Leo and Dick.  Leo are those soft plastic you are  useing with all those colors or creations of your own? Hey Dick are those inline spinners you are refering to like the old Mepps or something else?

Tooty, the color combos are either black with gold sparkles, green and yellow (tiger stripes), or light purple and silver streaks.
