Buckeye M. - I know the ants work well in the summer, pinmins as well, and I bought 20 of the "perch eye" jigs @ 1/64 oz. for around the cost of 4 pinmins. :cool: Didn't occur to me the ants had aberdeen hooks, would have got them with smaller hook size.
Ship - I did get them from Netcrafters. ;)
Skip - I'll try and send some ice your way this winter.... you'll love it! :rolleyes:
Here's the first couple I tied. The "Perch Eyes" have a white hair tail. The hackle is a dry fly hackle... the darker color is badger and the other one (red-butt ant) is a rust color I got in a kit long ago. Thinking I will also try rubber legs or wings on the ants. Still not sure what else I can do on the perch eye/crappie jigs..... maybe spin some hair. :eek: :D :confused:
