I like these. I've been thinking back about the days that I would fish with soft plastic jerkbaits that were rigged to be weedless, these remind me a lot of them. I may have to play around with this pattern of yours a bit.

Thanks for the reply I will have to check into that.

I was wanting to start tinkering around with UV resin, but not really wanting to drop 40 dollars on a light. Would something like this light work? http://m.homedepot.com/p/Defiant-UV-LED-Flashlight-809-2717-D/203138543

I look at Instagram as another tool. It has had just as much as an impact as FTF has in my tying. I've found some local tyers/fishermen on there as well I didn't know about also. I've started following some of y'all since this post started. You can find me under briancrigler if interested.

Thanks again for all of the input. I've got a few different flies tied up, hoping to try them out tomorrow.

Thanks for all the information guys, I appreciate it.

I've been wanting to do this for awhile but have never got around to it so I reckon there is no better time then now. I've been looking into flies for gar and the most common is the rope fly. I don't like the thought of using a hookless fly, what if I miss a hook up on a nice bass or something because I have no hook? So I was wondering if anyone else out there fishes for gar and what they use. I have seen the flies on circle hooks as well. I am just trying to get some advice, not a whole lot out there. Thanks in advance.
