Angela Hudson –
Used the California Comet during a trip to the Eel River and caught several sea run cutts. It sank fast and drew fish in even in heavy cover. Great for coastal streams.
Felicity McLean –
Fished it in Mendocino and saw good results with steelies. The quick sink rate helped me target fish near the bottom. Slightly less effective in very clear water.
Steven Hill –
Perfect for salmon season. Attracted fish consistently in the outer estuary. Works well with both live and artificial baits.
