The Hefty Girl™ in Flashabou!
UPDATE: We've been fishing for over 50 years. About 150 tournaments behind us and too many consumer and trade shows to mention. The thing we are asked most about is "What color?". So what we've done is produce "color catagories". Clear, stained, muddy, algae bloom, green, black. It's not on our website yet, but until then, if you have a question about "What color?", please give us a call toll free to discuss what kind of water (catagories) you would like a little help with: 866-863-6328. We're here to help you catch (and release!) the most and biggest fish possible. Consistently. Thanks.
The blades shown below are examples only, but one look shows you we put a brass and a nickel on every Hefty Girl. Reason is simple: With one of each color, you have the right blade for any color water or sky cover condition. Brass/nickel flash creates a 'blended' look that's so nice! We never paint any blades a solid color (as some blades show on lures below) unless you call to request it. We use our proprietary weedless treble hook(s) - 5/0 on #8 blades and larger. Check. Our ample helping of flashabou in our own color schemes. Check. Our hand-dipped in lacquered blades and then our special "splash" painting of the blades to take the all-nickel or all-brass look off 'em. Why? Because all-nickel or all-brass is too much nickel or brass - too hokie for pressured fish and causes follows. Check. So we now took our famous Weedless Inline Special with one blade and tested it until perfected with double blades of all sizes. We make it in the best all-around sizes that will catch fish of many species just about every day of the year. Sizes: The 3/4 oz early/late-season, cold water model (single flashabou tail with our 3/0 weedless treble); 1-2 oz summer models (single flashabou tail with our 5/0 weedless treble); and 2 oz+ fall season, food-riot model (two flashabou tails with two of our 5/0 weedless trebles).
We throw the Colorado #8 blades to keep the Hefty Girl high in the water when fish are in very shallow water and lookin' up. We throw the Indiana blades much more often because A.) We want to cover the water column fast, B.) We're in deeper water, C.) We want to slow-roll the Hefty Girl down a ditch or a deep weedline, or D.) we're in deep standing timber. We can slow-roll the Indianas because, altho they cup a bunch of water like Colorados, they don't build the "lift" that the broader Colorados do. We also throw the Indianas in cold water or when fishing pressure drives fish nuts or deep or both. We catch fish slow-rolling our Indiana inlines in 14-24' when fish just don't want to look up. Hey, it's a circus out there sometimes. You know that. And all too often the fish just don't want to play. So don't fight it. Go deeper. Go slower. Use the Indianas. Got wood? Got weeds? No worries. Use Meat and Potatoes Tackle's weedless treble hooks. GET FISH! Check. P.S. We have 41 color schemes in flashabou and more come along. Call us and we might be able to satisfy your special color needs.
