  1. i just orders some fly clips i change flies alot and aml azy and will end up with a very short leader real quick.i dont use small flies so i dont think it will effect them
  2. i have one as well given to me by a friend of my dads.had alot of silk type thread. i wished it had dodo bird feathers
  3. every picture tells a story a picture of that popper should be framed good for you
  4. thanks for posting that video never knew they were made that way. when looking up the floating jigs i seen that they are made with 1/0, 4 and 6 size hooks
  5. another alternative is to add material to a phelps floating jig. nice wide gap short hook,. just add tail and you can pull legs thru or just ti e them on using the same color thread that works for smallies too rob rich mc
  6. are they sport fans use colors of their favorite team or fav college colors
  7. dont know if it will help with your glue but i use liquid fusion and i store the bottle upside down [point down] and it helps alot
  8. hollywood here i come
  9. happy b day mike. now explain to me how a tyer that only ties a few patterns needs a room that big! i need a room that size just for my yarn and satin
  10. sure looks like a simple tie. and plenty of hook gap now i may go back to walmart as they had flip flops for cheap
  11. in the midwest we were told by the biologist do NOT release them back. is that the case down south
  12. i grew up with old style and strohs but some of my preferred tastes are leinekugel original, guiness and shiner bock. i like maltier beers and drink them slow
  13. around the early nineties fishing facts writer rich zaleski started making a flat style jig to be used pulling across weeds and lily pads nice jigs
  14. without a doubt those will catch fish but il stick to mop bodies. havnt tried them on a scud hook but you gave me the idea. i also have some shiny bodies from a bath matt and being thinner it should fit the smaller scud hook
  15. rob the keel type hook helps. i dont tie weedguards but prefer to tie on wide gap worm hooks and let the material do the work.also closer type flieson a 60 degreehook like the ec410.
  16. is the sheath made of rattlesnake. very stunning
  17. they have arrived well done tiers and swapmeister special thanks for the extra cord material
  18. they have arrived. great group of flies and plenty of extra material !  thanks everyone and swapmeister

  19. my grandson saw the flies and wants the topwater and helmet head fly . they look very good even with the satin bluegill upside down. nice worktyers
  20. showed the groupto my grandson  and he wants the topwaters and the  helmet head.  my satin bluegill is upside down. nice job everyone

    PlopFly

    i wondered if a good deer hair tyer could make a plopper tail out of hair on a tube , then trim to make a fin and solarez it. challenging idea?
  22. so did my set make it in?
  23. i do something similar with my ultimate worm fly i will leave the tag end thru the eye going down[  1/2 inch ] then add a split shot.  i also dont knot the end so it shot will slip off if snagged

    PlopFly

    the whopper plopper has caught many fish .i bought one just cause i liked the name. .it must be a good lure since all companies have copied it. just like the chatterbait. i am sure a fly company will make a plastic blade ,similar to the now extinct action disc .. i tried making a plopper fly using a spin n glo body for the taill ,didnt work
  25. gee, sent mine on june 2nd, is the pony express still workin . maybe today
