MfishP 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 I'm looking at old fishing magazines and saw a pattern that uses rubber legs material to take the place of biots.Since i have nothing but trouble tying biots on, i was wondering how many people substitute this kind of material for their patterns that call for biots-such as tails and antenna?

streamcaddis 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 I put rubber legs on woolly buggers, aunts, elk hair caddis. To me they make a good splash thru the water, kinda gets the fishes attention. I have fished trout , bass and bluegills with them. So go for it and see what happens. :yahoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snboggs 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 I love rubber leg material. In fact, I just got what seems like a lifetime supply of it eBay last week. Those flies look great with the rubber legs and I've seen a copper john with rubber legs. I really like it. So yeah... I love the stuff. Go for it!
