| the sinkers would probably be best as Dark lures. i.e. Purple, black, eel pattern, etc. but day time guys would like yellow or white. so I guess I'm no help at all LOL  Armand |

| In sand eel country go with varying shades of green faded over shades of gold and/or silver to an off-white or white belly. Stick with the BLURPLE after dark....and then make some screwball colors that you'll have no clue why a fish hit it!  |

| Yay or Nay? I wanted to use my copper because I never tried using that color but than realized if for some miraclious reason some one on decided to actually fish with one of my needles I probably should paint it a color that would be better suited for attracting Fish. The Tail needs some work too. The burnt Orange marabou just didn't work out the way I wanted it to.  |
