IB Frozen and Khaki caught most.
Problems we encountered was a downrigger that was dead but we didn't plan to use. And then there was my Lowrance Elite 7 HDI that froze and nothing I tried including advice from the company worked. It is now enroute to San Diego. This went to show me you don't need all those electronics to catch fish. I was reliving the 50's all over again.
Thanks for the report. I am in the process of loading my tackle box with bandits. My problem is when I checked on line at cabelas. there are difference sizes. Do I get shallowing diving Deep diveing or suspending. I will be trolling.
