A couple for tomorrow.
Pink for the belly or wing? Haven’t we had that debate before.

I believed we have!
One camp vouches for the green back and pink belly to better mimic baitfish coloration. The other camp leans of the shades of the color, pink tends to be darker therefore more suitable to be on top. I tie one of each variation
Fish camp don't care.
