NEW COLOR 330 ADDED TO SENKOS

Copper is uncommon, yet something I continue to seek in soft
baits, says Russ Bassdozer. Even on spinnerbait blades,
copper is a rare penny. But for my two cents worth,
Yamamoto's copper flake baits 163, 236 and 327 consistently
shine. Now a new coppery creation has been minted:

5" Senko 9-10-330 - Green Pumpkin w/Lg. Purple & Sm. Copper
4" Senko 9S-10-330 - Green Pumpkin w/Lg. Purple & Sm. Copper

Savvy anglers may recall our January 2003 field test color
916 which was fading watermelon with large purple and small
copper flake. It exceled for me from Florida's fabled Stick
Marsh to California's sprawling Delta and points between.
Best results were exposing 916 to sunlight to fade it to a
tannic brown complexion. New color 330 lets you circumvent
this fade-it-yourself process since 330 is murky brown right
off the shelf.
