Thx everyone.
Hawn - we tried them for about 5 min in fresh then went back to the bait the smallies were hitting every other cast. Hard to experiment when you have sucess. The ones in the pix are 1/16 oz on a #2 Matzuo black nickle hook and 1/8 oz on a #1 Matzuo black nickle hook. I did throw the black jig w/ blue eye & no spinner with a soft plastic grub that worked well.
Allen - thought about it for a brief moment, then figured unpainted blades work. Maybe in the winter when I have more time?
Led - we use to throw inlines fishing from tubes down around the rocks in Laguna for a variety of fish. I'm sure these'll work too.
