Do you recommend the Mini X for river drifting? Inquiring minds wanna know.
Juan didn't give it a fair shake as soon as I hooked the first fish my mind was somewhere else.

Congrad's Mike. I was thinking of going for a walk on Thursday to see what king of action was in the river near my house. I may just have to drag the mini-x with me.

Sorry Mike that blur was sort of a joke.
Both the lures in the picture are Brad's if you can find the old style WW in the box I pictured buy them all,but change out the hooks.
The Brad's hooks are good to go just sharpen each trip, I pictured the silver one so you can see how crappy the finish is, but they still catch fish. I don't think color makes a lot of diff. but I haven't done well with solid colors except the Copper later in the season, my go to color is green back silver body but they are hard to find. The fish I hooked yesterday were on a BWW-12 just like the one in the box but beat up.
