i have a wee story about a BIG pink Zonker type thing.
was at a fishery (shocking already eh?) and a chap with arthritis was catching regularly without seeming to do much just a twitch every minute or so. being nosey and not liking not catching as much as others i watched him for a bit but couldnt fathom it so i asked.
he had a size ten long shank hook with gold bead, pink mini fritz body, and pink zonker strip tied in over the back of the body. this was tied to four feet of 8lb flourocarbon and then to his floating line. he cast it off the dam wall ( bout ten yards) and then commenced the twitch a minute routine and got a take almost every cast. i tried similar with white rabbits and black zonkers and orange and then yellow but got nothing (didnt have pink) he reckoned probably correctly that the fish were feeding between the stones on the bottom but only the pink was catching for him.
i tied two of them up that night and went back for a couple of hours the next day and managed to catch 9 in two hours and this was all on the pink one compared to getting 17 the day before in 8 hours fishing just about everything in the box to find some consistency.
so to sum up, the pink seems to have its moments.
thats a lot of typing for for these two fingers

give it a try guys it certainly seems to have its moments
