    I do not tie nearly as much as the others, but for what it is worth, my bass flies are tied mainly on the Mustad 3366 or the C52 Stinger deer hair hooks. The Gammy B10-S is a great hook that I have used, though it is expensive. A friend I tie for on occasion would like all his bass flies tied on the B10-S. I like the Dai Riki hooks too.

    Thanks Ryan.

    A very nice collection of topwaters guys. Well done.

    I think there is potential here. How does it hang in the water? More vertical than a regular Crease fly?
  5. John Gillio
    Even more nice!
  6. John Gillio
    Nice!

    I would say this is a fair estimate. A very nice fish.
  8. John Gillio

    That makes a great sculpin imitation. Great looking fly Tom.

    I have a very optimistic gut, but messing with a pencil point, my ring finger, and your brothers, in the photo of coarse, I get about 19" to 20". I still prefer my gut feeling. Nice fish no matter what.

    Glad to see you had a good group Rob.
  13. John Gillio
    My guess is 22". I feel it in my gut.

    Agreed. I believe there may be a lesson in economics here also, as I can now only afford to fish with hair and tube jigs.

    Through years of observation and experimentation I have found that this law also applies to a fishing lures cost.

    The new colors all look great. I am partial to the shad color myself.

    Beautiful rod Colt. Good info too.

    That sounds good Rob, though I do want to get that JudeBug down, Funny, I am also a simple man who ties simple flies,but I am always reminded how simple I am

    Thanks Rob, neither of us are strong tiers. It will surely be a learning experience. The JudeBug looks to be a challenge.

    Rob, a friend and I hope to make the trip down to Bloomington on Sunday. What supplies should we bring?
  21. John Gillio
    Thanks Mike. Great info for those seeking a quality rod.

    UV Flies

    I correct myself. It is " glow in the dark " I am thinking of especially in ice jigs.. Lots of fluorescence used in lures these days.

    I have seen more of it in soft plastics and jig heads.
