I can attest to the power of purple!

Years ago I found a beat up old forest green/silver #5 Vibrax in the Chehalis River. The blade was still in decent shape, but the shaft was bent and nearly all the paint had been chipped off the bell. I straightened the shaft, put on a new Gami siwash, and gave the bell a new paintjob with some street-walker glossy purple/fuschia nail polish. I christened the resurrected spinner "Barney" and for the next three seasons, my girls would fight over who was gonna get to fish "Barney"... he was a killer for silvers here in Grays Harbor as well as Alaska. Unfortunately, Barney was retired on the Kenai River last August.... too many successive fish finally sawed thru the leader.
