Rob,
Love to hear it. Red Gills working means the island is loaded with sand eels. Islander77 knows about Block Island Green - his dad was one of if not the first to use that pattern. The color works everywhere not just Block - I'm always amazed why guys don't use it more on the mainland. I have one of Tagger's Spofford Needles in neon green and it's on the third set of trebles this season - bass can't leave it alone!

here's a few of my versions of the Spofford needles in a few sizes with the lime/yellow colors. These are rattle can painted with neon flagging
colors from my hardware store.

i have been fishing them with decent luck on the SoCo beaches and breachways at low current times

Plus a small danny still in process...
