That said, I did better with them in the warmer water when the fish were more active. The skin also makes them more bouyant (sp?) so you get a slower fall.

I tie some flies (and a few jigs) for bass with a 3"-4" piece hanging off the hook - they have more wiggle than some of my very thin/soft rubber worms.
