I'd rather tie bigger, but in the tailwaters around here it's the tiny stuff that gets the fish. Right now for winter fishing it's 22s,24s, and 26s both under the surface and on the surface when we're lucky enough to get either a midge and/or a BWO hatch.

I have not fished them yet; probably won’t until late March/April when the lakes thaw. I figure once the head soaks up enough water it’ll sink well enough, although it’s not too quickly; that wire doesn’t weigh all that much.

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2021 Following SBpatt's lead on the twisted wire I tried a twisted wire copper John in my favorite color. I like how it turned out but I have to try to get a tighter twist on the wire to get a more uniform lay.
