Hi everyone,
I'm new to competition fishing, and as much as I'd like to say I'm an experienced basser I'm not. I've been fishing for them regularly for about 5 years now but still consider myself right between a novice and average.
Somehow I ended up with probably the worst gift at my clubs end of the year banquet this year. I recieved a giant muskie spinner bait that will probably hanging on my boats dashboard as a decoration rather than ever getting wet. I also recieved a package of pink slug Go's.
My question is about the slug go's. I've never used them but after reading about how to use them wouldn't mind trying them. But pink? Does anyone have any success in the Northwest with anything pink?
I'd love to hear your guys thoughts.....

Hello Chris,
During the late pre-spawn, spawn and post-spawn, pink (bubblegum, merthiolate, etc.) can be a very effective color for largemouth, even in extremely clear water. I have hurt them pretty good on a few occasions in the past with a bubblegum Zoom trick worm fished weightless (only a swivel) in shallow water during this stage.
Pink is also one of my favorite colors for smallmouth soft plastics when I want to give them a different look. Morning dawn, stinky pinky, etc. They get a lot of bites. I also like a little translucent pink in my spinnerbait skirts on a lot of occasions for both species.
Also, that musky spinnerbait might not be as bad of a gift as you think. Just make sure you get the heavy gauge hook as sharp as you possibly can and fish it on stout line and tackle. For night fishing and in stained to dirty water, don't be surprised if it produces your biggest largemouth to date. I catch a lot of my big prespawn largemouth on heavy, oversized spinnerbaits with a large saltwater grub trailer.
Good luck!

That's exactly the type of info I was looking for. Hence I thought it might have been a stupid question. I thought either someone was giving a joke gift or there was something to the pink and the spinner bait. I will definately be giving them a try now. I might have to invest in another pole for the spinner bait though, lol but as most fisherman I don't think a guy can have to many poles.
Thanks again!

Thank you everyone...I have a tourney at Ten Mile this March and will be trying the slog go in practice to see what happens....I will be tossing spinner baits too but I think I'll leave the muskie bait at home this time.
Thanks Marc,
Me and my partner, who is more knowledgeable than me, were just discussing the crawdad colored speed traps on Ten Mile this afternoon....
