It never hurts to have a few #6 & #7 pimples too in case the current is bad.

Those #7 pimples are hard to find on line might be your best option,rickards does not carry #7 but they do have an assortment of #6

we limited out Sunday by 9:45 am, all gold/crushed ice #5 pimples with a stinger added. 3 minnows on the pimple, 2 on the stinger, caught 5 fish on stinger hook only. 1.5 miles north of Catawba.
