I haven’t had this out much yet. But I have fished the Larashi in the Bloody Hasu color. I didn’t think it would work very well, but I was wrong. I use it at Lake Tenkiller, and at local ponds near me. It has a great flash, far more than I expected from the matte finish. Now that it’s top water season, I will put putting it to it at Tenkiller very soon.
