Happy fishing to all

... Thanks Nog. Man I'd sure like to see your hoochie collection. It would probably give me wet dreams.
Hey Nog, did you ever use an old pattern that was a half very dark navy blue/half gold over on the west coast.
Very nice crossection of productive colors there Prairie Locked. I only see a couple of colors I don't use fairly regularly. You can't go wrong with most of those colors. I see you have a white or clear bead in front of a few of your hoochies. I often rig a white bead in front of the nose of my hoochies. I used to put a red or green bead in front in the past, but started using white beads and for some reason it seems to add an extra attraction. Especially on my Hali hoochies where I rig a very large white bead in front and use a toothpick and bead to peg the hoochy and bait together on the leader. Down deep, white is one of the few colors seen as it's true shade. Don't have a clue why but I always add a big white bead in front of all my Hali hoochies. Maybe it's all just in my head, but the bottom fish seem to like them. You'd think a glow bead would work the best, but I've found a white bead actually seems to work better.
T-Rex aka chartreuse spackle back.
I used to put beads in front of every hoochy in the past. I do it only sometines now, but I always do it on my Hali hoochies. That was an old recommendation from Jack Gaunt, the inventor of the hot spot and Apex. I always followed that in the past because I figured he knew a thing or two about fishing.The beads I have are only when I have a spin-n-glo but I think I'll add that to all when I tie new ones. Thanks for the suggestion. New spin-n-glo's this year are all white glow pattern. We will see how they perform soon enough.
Angelo's used Yo-zuri Hoochies ....I use the old Angelos TRex 1st thing in the morning and have done very well in Port Renfrew. It seems to stop working after it gets a little brighter out
What is the Yo zuri number if you don't mindAngelo's used Yo-zuri Hoochies ....
I've had good luck with the Yamashita Pistachio hoochies...very strong glow on these.
