as another great event we saw many young anglers that were first time casters, thats a good sign.

fished apond with afriend who uses plastic worms. gave him a few and he caught bass he liked the durability of the body and action of the tail. i cut one short and used it as a chatterbait trailer , it worked well.

anyone else for a fun filled morning .

ordered 7 packs .shipped on tuesday ,got them yesterday. hope to try them out today

YES Thats the one. the wyurm has great action and i think it would complement a chatterbait nicely. thank you matt

while at the riverside fishing flea market engineered hookset had a table of plastic baits . they are from around champaign il. most noticed was a plastic worm with a triple cut twister tail. like the tails on pike flies. they had a fish tank for demos and i meant to pick some up but got sidetracked if any isa anglers in the area can check local shops to see if there is any contact info. they are a new start up company thanks rich

this sunday 3/12 the quad county hawg hunters are holding their annual market at the american legion hall on dearborn st from 9-12.

thanks. i will purchase a few in pink colors. i did use the lurepartsonline discount and ordered flippin hooks to match the marabou jig vmc jig he praised . will attempt to make a fly just like the jig pattern. ordered monday and it came today.

nice fly .similar to bisharats airhead.

at the blowout jim crowley talked about using the x rap with a feathered hook. and the ripstop, what was the other one? said it stops then rolls on its side.

i enjoyed both of the speakers crowley was awesome and my grandson and i had talks on the way home about his tactics . having him mingleduring the evening was great for us with questions he didnt touch on the razor lures buzz baits . so cool to see everyone

cant beat a streamer that has eyelash yarn. i get a hoot out of people faces seeing a guy go into a craft store.

so has anyone tried tying one or looked up other balanced fly videos

took them to a pond for casting. 1/4 of the pond was open. rob asked how they would be if retrieved without an indictor. the smaller mohair leech sank slow on its side to the left . jigged up the fly was erratic pulled fast it was nose down almost like a crankbait. larger faux fur fly did a nosedive when jigged it was like a jigging rapala erratic. did notice that the marabou tail with the fur body gave nice movement. cast the redneck ned with spinning gear .i t had nice action like it was searching left and right while angled forward and down. now i am thinking of an ice fishing rapala with a nail or two under the shank.

i have a pond with an airator that i can hit friday will try

probably best to describe it as soft movement. it is mostly a dead stick approach as it hangs under the indicator. the profile attracts and slight movement of the soft fibers seals the deal. just watched a video on the filobugger by phil rowley . if i was to use this on an active jerk and pause retrieve i think i would use longer material.it would have erratic movement as it sinks, like an ice jigging rapala

randy blauket u tube had a talk on florida bass dont eat them

yes, invite your friends and fill a table

boy chris , you look like a 30 yr old in that photo. are you one of the younger isa members. lol

i will tye a leech and minnow pattern on zoom. sequin pins work on smaller trout size flies . i have started to use brass coated nails one inch long [menards ] works very well. then i will let you in on my redneck ned rig fly/jig. see you ,monday
