They're deadly. I don't use a head on them and sink them down and they're killer trash flies.

A variation is to take the slim part and hook it thru the center and use it a s a "Wacky Worm".

Don' have pictures of it.

I bet those are effective, but kinda walking the edge (or perhaps blew right by the edge) of what I'd call fly tying. Here in Oregon molded plastics that imitates eggs and worms are considered bait and are illegal in many of the waters I fish. So I guess it doesn't matter what I think, I couldn't fish 'em even if I wanted to.

Like a San Juan worm. Not for the purist, the squirmy wormy, but very effective. If you like catching fish, they could be a fall-back when nothing else is working. No pride in tying it, and fishing it, but it will put a bend in your rod. Y2K is in the same boat.

hi flytire..that,s interesting..where do you get them..sperm bank? lol.

they make wedgies for ice fishing and other tailed plastics for crappie anglers . most likely at least 50% off the cost of a new fly fishing item rich

I can see them working. They should be deadly on pan fish. All black would look like tadpoles or small leeches. Be nice if you could find some with silver flakes in them, newly hatched minnows. I've got some squirmy wormies, rather than tying them on the hooks I just threaded them on the hooks like I would a red wiggler with a dab of super glue to hold them in place. I took them to the Poconos with me but didn't use them, probably would have cleaned up on the rockbass and sunfish, even though I caught a bunch on the mop flies and the mini mop flies I brought with me. Maybe I should take a trip to Cabela's and see if they have them.

Flytire, where did you find those spermy wormy bodies??

Super Glue will make the application spot brittle and cause them to break off. They're deadly on trout as well as panfish, which I've never used them for.

I'm all for everyone doing things their own way but how is this fly tying?

Not far from using molded or precut crawdad bodies, minnow tails, fish skulls, pom poms, or any other of a dozen prefab'd commercial materials.

 

Until someone writes the law on tying flies, innovation will continue.

Norm, if you can find a way to incorporate a mini-condom into the pattern, you've got my vote for the Fly Tying Hall of Fame.
