‘Derby Winner’ is one of Lighthouse Lures new Big Eye spoons - hard to find, maybe Harber Chan?

Thanks Howesounder, that mystery is now solved. Was at Habour Chandler the other day. Young kid in the fishing section seemed more keen on the cute girls working the till than the customers. But hey, some of those girls are pretty darn cute, so I can't blame him either.

I just tie a loop and hook it into snap swivel. Only time I've had it fail is when I was doing a demo for a forum member and I broke it when I sinched it up lol

You obviously don't fish where there's lots of weed, those swivels don't like eel grass or moss. Ball bearing only for our area

I just don't think I've been fishing long enough to know what I don't know. Always appreciate all the help I can get.

Ah, thanks Red Monster. I find using the actual number code is the best way to describe a lure or colour pattern. The branding and local namesakes for various colours can confuse people. I still don't know what a 'derby winner' is, but finally figured out what a pink sink was.

Thanks!
Adding “Yamashita” makes all the difference.
“Mp 015” google image is another kind of hootchie altogether! Lol

Here are the soc squirts as requested.

Bead chains are the best. Wish I had a bag of them!

Raincity, just run with it man. The beads will do just fine and the gear junkies will criticize what your running even if you max out.

I’m sure you know by now not to over think it.

no gear junkie here, just trying to save the guy some money, lol, save the bead chain for bait and spoons.

I think I read the guide boats going 26-30” but I think you can shorten up to 18” even.
Use a stiff 40 lb line to whip it around a bit more

Other than pricks racing by too close it’s pretty good. South easterly blowing slightly but not bad at all
