good to hear from you. im back at the ponds call me

i have had success with larger swimbaits at local ponds. the cullshad intrigued me with the clip that hold a treble hook. i picked one up at walmart ($13)6,5 inches. this is an awesome bait.i debarbed the hooks and it caught bass right away. it swims by itself as it angles downward. in fact most hit comes just after it hits the water i have landed over 60 bass on this lure and it shows no wear. thumbs up on this bait!

found a company called fatcow fishing they make very durable twister type tails. . i and others have tried cutting some of them down and tied on to flies and jigs with good results .the unique silicone can be dyed and colored with markers . they come in a jar and coated with a gel type mixture as its made for the saltwater striper crowd. can be wiped off and they dont dry out.. they gave out some of the 5.5 inch minnow baits with my order sorts like a fluke bait but a square type head with slot in the the belly. the color pink rubbed off after a dozen fish. but it can be dyed or recolored with prismcolor markers' will be trying it today after recoloring a purple top, bone colored body and orange belly

wow what a fly. the engineering in building this fly is incredible. the degree of difficulty in tying is high, but the level of effectiveness is much higher. thank you craig for setting this up.

i didnt have a list of items used at the tying session. ill post them here.
hooks 90 degree black nickel victory brand from do it molds.com #11149, 90 degree daiichi #4660 bronze from dupage fly. eagle claw 413 tinned 60degree from do it molds
material: eyelash yarn from Premier Yarns.com 17 colors,208 yards per skein,3.99. also a short sparkly chenille called pixie dust. used as a body to bulk out satin material.
we also talked about small jigheads, i get mine from chuck and debs.com
a tool i made for furling the yarn is a pencil or dowel rod4-5inches long with a spring clip at the end . i helps with twisting the yarn 30 times . also a velcro patch on a stick.
with using satin. buy at craft store it gets cut off a bolt of fabric. normally you have to buy a minimum of a foot length, but its 52inch wide for about 2bucks in drier winter months run it over a dryer sheet to remove static. then cut into squares of 2,3 or 4 inches . cut so the woven fabric is square , then pull out the strand 5 at a time.
