Boy i had a hard time finding these in size 13 5 1/2"
Gold black.i hit 5 local bait shops till i found these 2.
Its all he had.he ordered me 4 more.
Lots on line but i like to suport our local shops.
Lots of 13s in other
Colors but not gold and black.i must have a half dozen gold/black size 11.I do much better on the 13s.The 13s have a third treble hook.
It helps bigtime on the topwater bite.

Ya buddy...
How bout the turtle last year.
Bit it,snapped the line and then spit it back out.
I paddled over got the rapala back, all bent and chewed.
Tied it back on and caught a few more fish on it.lmao.
If you noticed this year.that turtle is no longer with us

If you're talking about the lake I think you are there's some big turtles in there.  If you get one big enough you can use the shell for a hat.

The turtle that nailed Chez's rapala... you coulda used as a kitchen sink, lol! I haven't seen it lately but I have seen a few old turtle traps floating in the weeds. Someone was after him.

Always wondered if you needed a special permit to trap them?
