    Sunday we were catching a few fish using the larger 5/6 blades. We had a few out with 2/3 blades and they were getting popped. After switching them all to 2/3 size blades they were all poppin’. Beads were 4mm and 5mm. They may need to be adjusted as well so it is good to have some rigs tied with all sizes and colors to be able to adjust easily.
