Good day today. New Paulina Peak Tackle flutterbugs outperformed the old school today. Short leaders, 10” max behind peak performer Dodgers.

Richie, owner of Paulina Peak Tackle told me he was doing well on teardrop Dodgers and pink hoochies. I fought changing for another hour, but starting changing everything over. Luckily I did
