I like the metholate (sp) ones quite a bit and since not to many people are throwing them they are a nice addition. I've used them in both clear and stained water with success but they perform best in the darker water. In real clear water I've used purple ones with a light pink edging on the tail and that has also worked. So far nothing will eat my green ones or white and red but I'm convinced something eventually will. My next plan is to take a 2 or 3 inch white one and place it on a hook below a single pink plastic egg (kinda like an egg-sucking leach). Hopefully this 3 day weekend will give me plenty of time to try all of them.
