Wow! Like a amped up disco ball for fish!!
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

Whoa, forget the smallish spinner fishing industry. Market that stuff on the runway models and license it out to a big box high-end retailer :cheers: Even my old eyes would turn to look at the that kind of blingy thingy.
Hopefully not while driving.:-"

I got the request from some guys in South Africa, fishing Tiger fish in muddy water around Hippo's and crocodiles.

Now that ought to sharpen a fisherman's senses! So will taking a hook out, IMO. Here's a picture they sent of old snaggletooth.

That V1 leader was a concept trial that I'm gonna try for bass, pike and muskie.

Should work fine, especially in off colored water. I have been using Holographic blades for many years, and they do similar to what you did. I expect that you did it better, and it should make for some great fishing days.
