I saw those new led lighted lures on the Utah site so wanted to let you know they work good. I tried them at Magic Reservoir this morning.They are pricey, $5.00 apiece and I didn't like the big red treble hook that came with them, at least for perch. So I took it off and added a two inch chain and a small #4 red treble. Have you seen those Nills lures with the chain and then the hook? They are pricey also and I have had good luck with adding a chain to a castmaster and then the hook. So I did this to the new lures. They all worked great but maybe the red wasn't as good as the other colours. I have heard they can't see red, but I do have better luck with red treble hooks verses the regular ones. And anyway I could not keep them perch off my hook. I was at the East side, and and all alone just 100 yards from the boat launch. I caught over 40 perch and quit at 11 am. So I drove over to the West side to see how they were doing. I talked to about 10 people and no one had over 6 perch each. But dead sticking wasn't working. I caught most while jigging softly just off the bottom in 32 fow.
