I started using the red Fish Flash at Grays Harbor after watching notable guides such as Mike Kelly who consistently catch fish when others did not. The common denominator was a red Fish Flash. The color red in that fishery shows up in the low visibility and usually the fishing depth does not exceed 26ft. I don't think I agree with the loss of color as shallow as 13'...I would buy 40' which is deeper than most of the Grays Harbor fishery. I think Slab's recommendation on the new ones with the ball bearing swivel is excellent as well.
