This season, my preferred setup for my 228 EdgeWater CC (no outriggers) will be to run Sterling Wide Trackers outboard of the third wake, a pair of standard 6-inch squid bars tight in the third wake, a Yo-Zuri bird/Rainbow Psychobead (green machine) way back in the seventh or eighth wake and then a pair of deep diving Nomad Design DTX 200 Minnows down deep right off the transom attached to flatline clips

Without a proper container their tails can crimp or bend, ruining their actions and profiles
They are as much a part of a Californians tackle box as the plastic worm
We are carrying these seats in the flat finish as the polished finish is not yet available at scale since they are all hand finished by a select few people in Japan
In Costa Rica, the dry season is particularly important for Lake Arenal, where lower water levels concentrate fish and improve catch rates
