Very nice ties, Retro (balanced bugger) and Kimo (ant) !!

 

I like that streamer, smbeck ... but it's way too large for me to fully "appreciate". I would never attempt to throw something that large.

Thanks mikechell. We've got pike and muskie in the reservoir nearby that like to eat large articulated crank baits so this should hopefully work on them. It's surprisingly light for its size and I'm confident my 9wt can handle it.
