My all-around fave Big Hammer is the #48 brownback grunion (scored several 6 pound-class fish). For winter colors, I like #16 clear/red flake (my largest, a 6 pound 9.6 ounce), halloween and #49 green brownbait/orange belly. There are some new winter-themed colors Hammer just came out with: rock crab, calico hunter w/ red flake, reef critter--they are all red, brown, orangey--should be hot for the bottom bite, I will be testing some soon.
