What color was your large Danny swimmer, and did you switch to the same swimmer in another color once the sun went down?

thanks

It's a Pogey color. White belly, yellow sides, gray scales on top. Little bit of red for the chin. I only fish in the dark so the second part of you question is a no.

Thanks Piemma, Nice color.
The big plug in a school of Peanuts is an automaic for me now. Color seems to make the diff most times. I usually start with all white or white with rend chin or white flash, and experiment from there. When the fish are on peanuts its pretty obvious,so its just a practice in fine tuning, then u smash the barbs and get buzy.
