 My yozuri 3d crystal minnow

Thu, 2013-12-05 17:53

 My yozuri 3d crystal minnow in the silver and blue is doing well. 9 cm. wouldn't go too small for tailors IMO. A bloke fishing the same stretch of river as me on the weekend was using bream lures and I saw him get bitten off twice.

Cheers

The small x raps and wax

The small x raps and wax wings have worked for me. Once you find a school though they eat pretty much anything you throw at them.
