Ugly Works

"We hit up the upper part of The Ridge," wrote Shogun skipper Bruce Smith June 6, "and had fairly decent action on good sized yellowtail. 90% of the fish came on heavy vertical type jigs, as we commonly see when the water temps are in the high 50's to low 60's. The Salas 6x in Python color was a hot ticket along with blue and white. On my first cast of the day, literally just to straighten my spectra out, I hooked a yellow and lost it, then promptly hooked another, this second one is making its way to the dinner table tonight. What was sort of cool was that it was on Salas 7x, Neapolitan color (white, brown and Pink), I saw these on FB one day a couple weeks ago and made a smart remark about those were the ugliest surface iron I had ever seen and where could I get one? Our local Salas rep Tom Spayne is on this trip and just happen to bring us some of those new crazy looking Neapolitan colored 7x's. Well, I'm here to say they work."
