Richard...how are things in Mulege?
Tady 45 is probably my favorite...although I have them all and use. Color is not so important...the one with all the color rubbed off will probably
catch the most. It's like golf...you can't just use one club.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I am now 61 and relaxing. I long ago gave up yo-yo-ing for yellows. Too easy now with live bait or just waiting for the boil...then out comes the
Tady.

Salas 6x junior, any color. Also, megabait jigs, size depending on depth, drift and current, so use the big ones for deep water. For color I like
something blue or green near the surface. Fishing deep, I don't worry about color.

Fishermen Wimps?
I am appalled!! are getting to old to Yo-YO for Big ole Yellowtail?
I cannot beleive those words.
O.K. Blue Salas 6/ 8 was always my best along with an Orange "Straggler'.
Any of you Guys ever meet Len Starggler when he came down to sell His Jigs?He had one jig about 10 inches that if you cast into the shallow North of
Doctors Point you could drag out a good size Pez Gallo.
I use a small castmaster on 17 lb Test, open face Reel when the Yellows come up early in the spring around Pulpito.
I Can still bring up a 35lb yellowtail on a Penn 500 loaded with 30 lb. maxium.
You guys are drinking to much Beer and getting Weak.

I dont think the color is as important as how you work the jig. Instead of jigging try cranking with a good high speed reel. Crank up 1/3 of the way
and let it flutter back to the bottom. Blue and White Salas 6x has always been my favorite even though I still think the color of the lure is more to
catch fishermen than fish! Good luck in the tourney...
Work is just something I do to keep me buzy between baja trips!
