Piker20 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2012 Inspired by the Jitterbug post, I have always collected novelty lures, budweiser can, simpsons characters, light up coors cans etc. These do catch fish as well as being a novelty item. Is there any equivalents in fly patterns? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peterjay 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2012 I don't know about novelties, but everybody I know has their favorite bunny fly, and I'm no exception. Bunnies are deadly on just about everything that swims in salt water, and no self-respecting angler would be without one. I usually don't share my favorite bunny pattern, but I think I can rely on you guys not to steal the design and sell it to Orvis. (I apologize for the lousy picture, but it's the only one I have, and the fly is packed away somewhere) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2012 Thats a great link flytire. After I posted I didn't think there would be any. Guess there really is everything on the net if you look for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

perchjerker 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2012 Here is one I came up with, taking advantage of a partially finished spun deer hair body that a student left behind in class one night. I finished it with miscellaneous materials laying on my desk top. I call it "The Seaductress". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
