3/26/2019 9:14:17 PMIt may be a tad early for the God's Tooth to take any victory laps. I'd love to tell you they're my new favorite lure, but I fished them both today for several hours with no hits whatsoever. After trying a number of other lures, I switched back to the Reli, and immediately boated the only fish I hooked today - a feisty 16" cutthroat. To be fair, I only have the two GTs, and neither is the same color as the Reli (fluorescent green), so it's possible that a GT in the same color would have fared better.
I misspoke in my original report. The second GT is the perch pattern, not the frog.

Tricked dark Wicked lure, bright green spoons, God's Tooth in blue/chrome and perch, and whatever else I could think of. I finally connected with one small cuttie using a UV green Rocky Mountain dodger and a matching green Reli spinner. He was cleanly hooked, so I let him go. No other boats in sight. That green Reli spinner has accounted for my last two fish on super slow days. I've fished a variety of depths and speeds, but virtually everything has come at 1.25-1.40mph and 50' on the downrigger.
I'd welcome any tips to motivate these reluctant critters.
