This fall I'll have about 1/3 of a 5 dozen Herter's diver rig I'm reconditioning deployed. Mostly 72s, and 4 dozen will be reconditioned/burlapped.
As I set to painting I hadn't considered what hen/drake ratio, if it matters, by species. I'm coming from the 1 doz is 50/50 mindset and realized I have complete control (an odd feeling, since I've been married for 16 years ;-)
On the bench:
B'bills (primed and waiting for paint)
The other species will be:
Cans
G'eyes
Red heads
This is a long-line working rig and will be used on traditional diver waters in MN.
I appreciate your insights.
