    Just my 2 cents worth.I think people get to wrapped up in the latest and greatest custom this and that.This time of year presentation ie. location speed depth and yes color is whats important.I don't think a walleye can tell the difference between a fire tiger crankbait and a custom painted fire tiger crankbait.Just saying.......

    Well we got our moneys worth on your post! Thank You.

    I do have to agree with you that as fishermen we sometimes do give the walleyes way to much credit for intelligence when they are actually acting on basic natural instincts. Instincts that we as fishermen sometimes perceive as an ability to think and then outsmart us fishermen.

    I think you are missing the point that it is not necessarily what the walleyes want us to use but what we as fishermen want to use. Just maybe the walleyes do look at the custom colors in a different light than we do then again maybe they don't. Besides it is not their(the Walleyes) money that is being used to buy custom colors to try to fool them nor is it their choice, it is ours as fishermen to make that decision on an individual basis. I think skipper9's use of custom colors and the results he enjoys speaks volumes about custom colors all by theirself.

    Well said.I'm not trying to start anything I'm just saying that for some as experienced as skipper9 custom colors probably makes sense.For the rest of us just get on the water and fish.

    Excellent advise! Having a fun and successful season with or without the custom colors is what it is all about. I am going to up my game a notch and try the custom colors that is if I ever get my boat ready.

    I sent DJ's an email today when I had a break in the action, noting in the email that I did not expect any reply today. He emailed me back quickly, as it sounds like he was working. Turns out he may only be a few miles down the road from me.

    I get to hand some of my hard earned cash to a neighbor, for something interesting and useful, it is a win-win.

    Now this is the kind of info I appreciate, I probably sound like some over polite kid, but, Thanks Again!

    and if my post about spending $250 on crankbait sounded arrogant or rich, sorry that the adrenaline from two days of big walleye fishing, after many years of not, and first ever trolling, has not worn off. I have been saving a few years to restart my hobby and it was all part of the initial investment. Rickards was friendly, helpful and seemed to want to earn my business, and has been each time I have returned. I appreciated that.
