Thanks for that info. Will try using it as a guideline and see how it works out.

My swartbaars tassie is ma klein. Jy som die kleure mooi op. Ek het net 3 kleure van Zoom se Super Fluke, June bug, watermelonseed en green pumpkin. June bug vir vuil water of as dit bewolk is. Green pumpkin vir water wat nie te vuil is en watermelon vir skoon water. Hulle gooi ek deur die dag. Vroeg oggend en laat middag, selfs na donker is ek maar op die poppers, enige kleur werk vir my, solank hy mooi "pop" en baie water spat los hulle hom nie maklik nie. Ek hengel baie min met crankbaits, maar het so "old faithfull" wat al n paar gevlous het, so donker groen sallow runner, sy kleur lyk baie na Rappala se Pearch kleur. Raak nou weer tyd om daai visse met die jam blik bekke te gaan soek!!
