There' definitely a connection between pearl /silver / flashiness.I'm actually a very serious GT (giant trevally ) fisherman and it just so happens that one particular surface Stickbait generally out fishes all others.It's Japanese,resembles a flying fishes action and does of course have a silver sparkly under side and black top.It's called a Carpenter Gamma and comes in various sizes.
I'm looking forward to taking beach fishing seriously and it's a great way to make new friends in a town I have never lived in before.
