I have a myriad of colors and some that everyone speaks highly of don't do beans for me. Pink is always there as is a shad pattern of some variation. This summer has been slow for me when I have gotten the time to go but that hasn't been very often. My rods are out the side and far back but my waters are deeper than Florida usually offers. This is something I'll be figuring out this coming year as I relocate in just a few days. I use braid for my main line and when I find a happy spot it allows me to mark it with a sharpie so I can return to that depth/length. Tons of fun.
