Color? Get black so you are not seen.

What you are going to fish for, with what lure, on what rod will determine the size.

Do they come in any other color besides black?

I'd rather be fishing!

The 250 is the most versatile size.

Thumbs up

I have the 200 vsb. Clearly the best piece of fishing equipment I have ever used. It is always ready for whatever I throw at it. It gets dunked, submerged, dropped, jigged, used like a walking stick...etc. It is a beast, and is more than enough for any striper on the east coast.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
