tomcraw 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2017 Having a hard time seeing the benefit of these over a Frenchie? Basically identical idea but the Frenchie has a little dubbing to add some bugginess. Same hot spot behind the bead and spotted tail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SILKHDH 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2017 I don't want to freak anyone out on here by saying this, I know it's blaspheme, But, I bet those would kill ice fishing. OUCH!

tomcraw 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2017 Sink rate is much higher with the perdigon. So advantages in faster moving water? I'll probably tie a few for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are perfect for ice fishing applicaions, with bait like waxies or mealies, or even tiny minnows. Those Yellow Perch are fine eating, so I will be joining you in Purist Hell....
