bowfin47 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 20+ years ago, we used to use tan rubber bands wrapped like Simplejack's to make grubs or crane fly larvae... Called 'em "Rubber Band Nymphs". No other adornment...Just a little lead weight covered with a tan rubber band and a black thread head... They worked fairly well in southwestern Arkansas for trout... We fished 'em dead slow on the bottom in pools... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve P 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 Bowfin, I still personally tie and fish that same pattern with both the normal colored and red rubber bands. I use a little dubbing for a head usually a pink or cream color and they are absolute killers when the bluegills are being difficult. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
