Was looking at Reef Runners new custom colors for 2001 at reelbait.com's website. Has anyone had a chance to use any of these? Any predictions for what might be some good color choices for the western basin of Erie? I do know that last fall in Huron, the bubblegum and fruit loops worked well.
Some of the one's pictured were: Fruit Loop, Pink Lemonade, Cotton Candy, Spotted frog, Bubble Gum, Sun spots, Bumble bee, Pink Squirrel, Orange Juice, Easter egg and Chicken pox. (gotta love these names!)
I think most of these must appeal to walleye's with a sweet tooth, because the sure don't "match the hatch"!
comments??

We had best luck with Eriedecent, Gold Clown and Blue Chrome. As the season got late, we had some luck running the black bone and black chrome. Those RRs made a believer out of me!
I get the feeling that those who name the colors have the munchies after taking some hits from the "magic pipe". ;-)
Was just at Dens sunday and picked up some the new costom's. They look good can't wait to try them out this spring. Den have the new colers came in yet? If you have never been to Den's shop you owe yourself a visit. Great person that gose out of his way to help you out. Thanks Den.
Mike, i have used all of what you have named, and yes they all do catch the fish, the best part is that there are some newer ones out, i just got some of them in today,and a few more on the way. here are some of the names, confusion, shrimp, blueberry muffin, trailer trash,monkey puke, if the names look familiar, it is the same colors as the spoons. give me a call sometime. Oh there are some more coming too, lol. good luck and good fishin. the easter egg and fruit loops worked great this late fall for me, as did the bumble bee, and sunspots.
