Hi Reb;
I fish Lake Sakakaweja from late May to early October and color preference changes with the water temperature,Spotted Frog worked the best until July then Perch,White Tiger, and Fire Tiger took over, by September Red Hot Tiger and Spotted Frog were the best producers.I have read several articles where the authors stated that color selection was not an important issue when pursuing walleyes,I respectfully disagree! Too many days were spent trolling with little or no success,upon trying ever color Reef Runner makes then all of a sudden the magic color brings out the "hoops and hollers".I was doing really good in a tournament last summer using Spotted Frogs and Firetiger,the first day we had 25lbs and only one SF lure(pike like them too!).The next day on the first pass a snag got that one,we never boated another fish.I have 15 Spotted Frogs now.I beleive Franks Great Outdoors have some exclusive colors that should work great,looking forward to using them next year.

Rebs,

For Erie some of my favorites are Blue Hawian, Eridecient, any of the gold metallic colors (there's quite a few with small differences), Purple Demon, Green Perch, Wonderbread (both the red and black head). I probably left out at least a few, since there are so many good ones.

Hi Rebs;
If you are planning to order Reef Runner lures they are dropping some colors,one is my favorite,Spotted Frog,I am going to order several dozen before Jan 1st,after then Scott will only produce discontinued/custom colors in orders of 120 or more(if I understood Rose).Better start your Santa letter soon,I am almost done!
