Newmoonbite - Cool story. What rod/reel/line setup are you using to throw the Mother?

Nico - I'm not wild about the red colored tails on these baits. I've assumed the feathers are used to hide the hooks and provide extra attraction. Think Matt Peters (painted trebles) and Zell Rowland (dressed trebles) to the extreme. I'll post a picture of the used Mother I bought in Japan. The previous owner trimmed the top and bottom edges of the plastic tail and glued rabbit fur along both edges.
