mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2017 Been losing some flies to Gar and weeds. Tied up some replacements today. Panfish Attractors on #6 Limerick Hooks. Flip flop poppers on #6 Aberdeen Hooks. For you drug junkies, you'll like my favorite color combos: On the left is ... "Black Cricket on Grass". On the right is ... "Hopper on coke" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2017 Panfish Attractors on #6 Limerick Hooks. Those are nice Mike! I've been wanting to try some of those. You've convinced me to finally tie some up. I bet the big crappie around here would gobble those up like grass shrimp. Your poppers could be called boa flip pops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2017 Thanks, Caloosa. The Attractors are my most productive pattern. My goto. I like the name for the poppers, LOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2017 Ha ha ... funny, Rich. I agree with you. But, I have been losing as many of them. I haven't needed to tie any replacements, yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add ribbing for added durability. Apply a swipe of your favorite adhesive to the top and bottom of the tinsel body and then pull the turkey fibers forward glueing them to the body.

Sight Cast 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2017 Got a good weekend to field test these prototype gurglers I've been working on. The redfish were smashing it and also landed a 26" speckled trout on it. The fly was working great and held up good all day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
