finhunter 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Hey all! I was reading an article in Salmon Trout Steelheader and it was about a Wiggle Bugger. It seems this company ( Which I have no affiliation with) has an Action Disk that goes in front of the fly and makes it have a wiggle action. Has anyone here used this thing? It can be aquired at: Wigglefin.com It shows a demo of it. I wonder how it would work with a Double Bunny or other Streamers? FH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 6, 2006 There is another contraption that has been out a couple of years that does the same thing. The problem I have is they seem like a real pain to cast. :dunno: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff Kimball 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 I've got some "lips" that came with a brittish fly mag I pick up (Fly Fishing and Fly Tying). They'll call them "wobblers" The article mentions that the inventor made his own by cutting them from pop-bottles but now offers them commercially. I thought they'd be great on any weighted fly buy I haven't tried them yet. http://www.hopkinsholloway.co.uk/tutorial10.php http://cnb-host1.clickandbuild.com/cnb/sho...dCategoryID=276 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelie 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Good Day, This reminded me of a "tool" I have on my desk for making lips for streamers or floating flys. I was trying to create a "rapala" like fly and a guy over heard me talking about it at the local fly shop. Well, a couple weeks later I go back and the shop owner says "Oh by the way I have something for you." This guy made me this jig. Real cool! Just heat up some thin plastic, like from a milk jug, and press. Voila, instant lip! Good curve too. Makes those flies wiggle... Steelie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Hi finhunter, Gretchen & I wrote the piece on the Wiggle Bugger for STS. Yes, the action disc works just fine with streamers, bunny flies, etc. They come in several sizes. I use the smaller one for my trout flies. I have several friends who use them in front of a fly that they troll on down-riggers for lake trout but I've not done that myself, just tied the flies for them. BTW, I'm not affiliated with the company, just a happy customer. Will is right, they are a pain in the neck to cast but no worse than throwing a #2 popper on a 6 or 7 weight rod. Take care & ...

finhunter 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 Hey Al, My Bad! I didn't even think to look at the author of the article. Now looking back at it, I see that! I am bad about checking the author of magazine articles, I just get into the subject at hand and get to the next article that is of interest to me. I tried to order a package of those small ones, but their CC processing was coming back with errors, so I didn't get to complete the order. I emailed them about it, but havn't heard back from them.

sniksoh 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 yeah i saw those in "in fisherman magazine". i dont know how good that would work with a fly...it might whip it around to much, since the fly is so light? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
