    It depends on what type of baitfish are in the lake you’re talking about. But generally the bone color or the loon color will do good. It also depends on conditions you’re fishing in. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!

Loved your commentary throughout the video really detailing your knowledge and understand how to fish for bass! You kept grinding and you didn’t allow that big fish lost stay with you too long but was able to regroup and still catch the right fish! Let’s go tight lines and God bless.

    The identifier only needs to be visible completely, both boxes do not need to be visible. The extra boxes are for extra tournament identifier. If you have a double tournament or online event that box can be used for those identifiers. Most of us just write it down more so that if we accidently cover one or get a sun glare, there will be more opportunity to see it
