    I personally don’t like a colored belly. I prefer them white unless I’m fishing for smallmouth. Then I like a colored belly.

    I like a soft tanned belly w a few blond hairs if that helps and maybe just maybe a few where it curves downward towards the back treble hook some

    A nice round bend treble, made of some firm steel-like material?

    Belly colors: White, off white/bone, orange. Those 3 will cover almost anything in nature.

    Seems to be a lot of work and an expensive day for such a small stripper. I normally catch mine on $1 bills at night and the smallest has always been over 90 pounds. Back in OK, some of those strippers would tip the scales at 250 lbs!

    I went stripper fishing after a softball game once had her hook good I thought.She came out head shaking got me by the ear. She through the hook and me out. I was dancing on her new carpet with my spikes still on. Man I tore it up. I think my lure had a white belly, maybe a little red on it. To many beers to remember.

    Maybe it was like a Mini Me Stripper? Small enough to jump out of a normal sized cake

    Like this?

    I prefer hairless...the little blonde hairs would get me in trouble since my wife’s a brunette

    On a jerkbait I prefer a softer, more natural colored bottom, the color to be on the sides with a black back.
