post-24757-0-10302400-1343100984_thumb.jpg Tied up a batch of these last week and gave them a try this past weekend......wow! Killed the bass and bluegills in my favorite pond. Tied a few different colors but this one and the hot pink/black ones were the best. Give these a try!

Nice use of materials! Try melting a curly tail to the end of it to give a little more action. Where do you buy that... whatever it is behind the fly?

They are a bouncy squidgy thing sold in toy shops or resort shops for kids. The local shop here has them for under £1./ $1.80

They are not threaded on the hook. Hard to explain but if you watch the you tube video you will see. It's not hard to do. The video is well done.
