[#0000FF]I have been using a modified version of the clown pattern for a long time...basically just a red head on a chartreuse body. Also on white. I just call them "dip heads"...since they look like I have just dipped the flig head first in red paint. Creative huh?[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]The clown pattern has proven effective for most species...especially in cold and/or murky water...or under low visibility conditions. The bright contrasting colors really make them visible. And any lure the fish can see better usually gets more attention.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I agree with you on the wimpy cutts. They usually just wait for you to reel them in and release them, especially if they have played the game before. But once in a while a contrary (female?) cutt will actually put up some resistance and punish the angler by collecting nearby lines. Nothing like a big 'bow or brown, but still better than just a weak roll and thrash.
