Formosan Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Wonder if the xrap on the downrigger would tempt a king When I lose my squiding mojo I will try that , especially the redhead white Xrap. Got hit by kings before just normal trolling. Is that a Bonito xrap you got in your avatar? Edited December 20, 2012 by Formosan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
