10/8/2018 2:12:04 PMHi Donn: Awesome report. Thank you. Makes me want to get over your way and fish Roosevelt. Probably won't happen now tho till spring. I will be using the OG1's on Wednesday here on a local lake tho. Used them last Thursday on Walupt lake.The soninlaw and I got 19 on, and released 17 all on the 2.44 inch OG1. Thanks again for a great lure. Have had many happy days using them.

10/8/2018 11:30:12 PMDonn: The 2.44 inch orange has been the best, but the pink one in the same size is a real close second. Leaded line with 50 feet of 15 pound leader/small swivel/42 inches of leader to the old goat lure. Where I'm at on Wednesday it's 2 -1/2 colors at about 1.8 mph-1.9 mph. Works every time. Tight lines.

10/9/2018 7:37:36 AMThanks for the details: The fluoro-orange has been a go-to color on Rock Lake for us. (But, the green-perch has surprised us a couple of times and out-fished the orange...)

10/9/2018 10:43:38 AMI agree. The green perch has done extreemly well for me too at both Sprague and Rock lakes. Thanks for the tip on Rock lake. It was good fishing there last October for me where you mentioned an area I might want to concentrate my efforts on. Both the perch and the orange did well. Biggest fish came from Sprague that was around 22 inches. Sweet memories.
