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.

When I was stationed in TX the Redfin was the #1 plug for overcast and night fishing.Many hybrids caught in Lake Braunig on a redfin.

Vic
How many bb's do you load into the 7" red fin ?
Do you have a range in the quantity to match 10cc to 15cc of water?

The 5" Redfin is my go to plug for the last 35 yrs.I have one that is wired through in it's red/clear plastic box.I usually fish the jointed, which are hard to get now. Since Pradco took over the business, the quality and color range has gone way down hill.
Some of the things i've done over the years is to heat the lip and push it back to make the butt end ride higher, wrecked a few doing that procedure. They then became "twitchers"
Another is to remove the tail treble and replace it w/ yellow, or black feathers I believe it does improve the action.
I always replace the rings and hooks as soon as they come out of the pkg
