[cool][#0000ff]I plan to provide more details on the mounting of the sonar. I'm sure most of your ???? will be addressed.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Thanks for the suggestions on the smallies. I generally use my own custom colored plastics. I buy bulk quantities of uncolored (clear sparkle or smoke sparkle...or pearl or white) and use my half-vast arsenal of dyes and paints to create just the right effect. Since most predators in Jordanelle and other perch infested waters feed heavily on young perch, that is a big part of what I serve them. And, I do not use the brightly colored perch patterns. The young perch are usually silvery with faint vertical bars. Therefore, I make "pale perch" patterns by adding a dark back and vertical bars to a smoke sparkle grub or tube...or even a white one. The visual effect works on smallies, perch and trout.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I also make jig heads in all sizes, shapes and colors...with a lot of fancy glitter patterns...with "grabber" eyes. They seem to add a lot to the effectiveness of the plastics. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]In short...I have never been skunked up there and I usually get plenty of exercise.[/#0000ff]
