do you store them in the cleaning closet or tackle box. mr clean would like them too

those bombers are very nice one thing i would do is use starflash silicone legs they are round and thicker= more silhoute and more water movement . i think starflash is made in southern illinois. rich

thanks for sharing this fly. two questions are the beads on the mono metal or plastic? why use a sink tip on a diver?

no to rockford. but i am looking at the hawkeye show in bettendorf march 3rd

one mop refill and you a few years supply. finding better fly colors require going to many stores. meiers carries black, wally world had noodle rugs that are great. main fiber is microfiber and what makes it easy is the end is factory sealed ,so you put the clipped end by the hook eye or bead. for its size it displaces alot of water and being soft the fish suck it in easy and hold on to it.

i am curious about some of their unique lures. their flashback shad is just like the ice fishing rapala except its on a wire and should have more movement . the buzzbait has a swivel hook like the honey buzz did. has eric tried any of these? rich mc

photos on his website just show the top of the sliding frog rusuperfly.com rich mc

i got to see his frog fly up close. first thing i noticed was the tight packed hair, second a double mono weedguard, third was two beads on the hook bend to tilt the frog butt down. forth was he dyed colors on the ultra suade with a brush,no markers .last was the way the hair was trimmed on top with a valley between the eye sockets . superb fly in all aspects . maybe john can photo it when the website gets fixed . rich mc
