Thanks Rich. I have to start looking a chubs though I was hoping you would call for a Wacky Worm.

 

Speaking of Blowout contests, I believe I have seen the winning "Shannon Minnow." Do we have any information or pictures on the other 2010 entries-especially the ones that made it to the tank testing? Getting to the final four aint bad.

I have a real nice creek chub in my tackle box, I think it's made by Heddon. Can I tie some feathers on the rear treble and call it a fly?

Craig just let slip that he's a closet spin fisherman!! Craig, you have a chub? Oh, I mean, a Creek Chub?

I found it in the wrapup. It is hard to see a lot of details though it looks like there may be some interesting ideas there.
