Got a radio actice darter in Montauk this fall.I happen to be a big fan of chartruese.It was calling for me from the package I had to have it.
Had a few fish with it in the limited time I used it.

Very nice. I got the urge to fish more darters this year.

NIB,

I believe there has been study by some people in VA ( fish and wild life, or marine fisheries, or some other higer ups ) about what colors striped bass can see. Chartreuse is dead center in the color spectrum of what they can see. Makes sense because it's always been a great color to fish.

During the first outing with that colored darter I outfished my good friend Rob "Bobcat" Taylor something like 6 to one. I made the mistake of showing it to Kadir and haven't seen the plug since, hence I had to paint more. Word got out and here it is.

i remember when mike first showed me that 3oz darter in radioactive 2 years ago. we'd be fishing, he'd put that one and sure enough it would pull some notable catches in - clear water, stained water, big water, etc. then, this same day mike was referring to outfishing rob, he took a few fish over 25 with the same colored lure, which outfished other colors and lures that day. some of it is technique, some of it is the lure, but some of it was definitely the color radioactive.

You know what really amazes me about Chartreuse is that it doesn't appear naturally in any form of fish that bass would eat as food, yet it's a top color in plugs and flies for bass. Go figure?

Keep up the good work Mike.

I'm not really interested in catching fish, I just want to look good while trying............

Will you have any hats available?

I know, I'm still a PITA, .... but I still owe you for pushing me in the brink that night. . . . . ...

Gil,

I know your highly concerned with your image as many anglers are. Because of this I'm currently working on some t-shirts that should really add some flare to your wadrobe and allow you to rank right up there with the rest of the fashion gurus in the fishing world.

With some luck, these will be available at the RISAA show......along with some hats.
