Was pre-fishing for a “Working Man’s” tournament series out on Lake Erie and found some quality fish throwing around the A-rig in Canada. You can only have 3 hook points, so the Picasso screw heads played a big role allowing me to keep the same weight on the A-rig and keeping it balanced all around! I caught a few nice doubles of 4lbers then got out of the area and let it sit for the tournament! All of the fish were crushing the pink colored swimbait in the middle of the pack, and they simply could not resist it! All in all, go check out the Picasso Smart Mouth Dummy!
