Cotton Cordell Red Fins

[Finlander]

I loaded a couple earlier this winter with 10 cc of water for the first time, can't wait to try them this spring.

have said just out of the package they shine... loading is for specific applications.
Stock use is a top rider reeling slow creating a wake. Doesn`t dive a deep as many minnow styles.
Loading for windy surf or spots you want it to go deeper.

There has been a ton of dicussion on these lures and I`m going to use/try them more this year both ways. My wife got me a couple of big 10CC needles/syringes from work.

I have some black gold chrome, smoky joes ,and scored a couple of 7" in bone that I anticipate will be very good at times.

Bob,
Here is an excerpt of a redfin atricle I wrote and let Joe Lyons use on his website - should help you with the loading.

Thanks Dennis, I picked up a 3cc and a 5cc syringe to do them. Whats your favorite color? and I read in Leo Orsi's book about the miro lure have you ever tried it?

like indanite said striaght out of the package (swap the hooks to vmc)works very well in normal conditons I use the loaded when I need to get it out futher.Imo red fins are the best minnow lure there is bone white has been the best color for me,before they produced that color I would scrape the crome to the bone,the bone white will out fish the regular white w/ the black stripe don't know why but it does.A striaght retreve will work as well as letting it sit on top then twich it in let it rest then twich be ready because it won't be a bump.

I load mine with bb's as the bb's cant evaporate, then seal with a 5 min 2 ton epoxy coating you can pick up at any wally world or similar store.
