Bart Durham Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 OK, Sold! I want em. My Crazy Clouser might really be enhanced with those. They may be more consistent in movement than some of the others such as the Fish Lipps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I think I might like those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom L Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 That is one neat idea. Not sure about casting and line damage though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Have you tried them? It looks like another take on the old "action disc" AKA a sequin or button threaded on the line. I wonder how much resistance they cause on a pickup. For spinning and casting there's always the Scrounger. Tie your favorite pattern on the shank.

John Gillio Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 They do look good. Tom, may have some valid concerns though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I think the smaller discs, 1/2 and 5/8" that I would likely be using shouldn't cause a problem casting at least with a 6 wt line I'm thinking my 10 fluorocarbon (supposedly resists abrasion better than mono) tippet might not be a problem but I'm wondering if you would definitely want a very small swivel where tippet meets leader to reduce line twist. I've never used the Fish Lipps but I have tried the small plastic cones on the front of a few flies with mixed results. Leader twist was sometimes an issue.

Guest rich mc Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 i have seen where a few tyers have used some hard mono to make a diving lip and added epoxy to fill it in. a hair brush bristle could also be bent to shape .rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
