Hairy Hillbillies

I like them, simple but different and lots of flair top and bottom. What does everyone else think?

You gonna use a fly rod or under a float

thats very different and different is usually good

[fish_4_all]

No fly rod unless it is a heavy one, these things are actually about 1/16-1/8 ounce. Under a float probably and casting into fast drop offs for the herky up and jerky action it should give.

I doubt I could cast it on any of my fly rods, not very far anyway without snapping it off and seeing if it can fly south.

I suppose I should tie some lighter ones for fly fishing though. I have never caught a descent fish on a fly rod yet and crappie or bass might be a good way to do it.

PRETTY, i thought it was for Salmon or Steelhead when i first saw it. Might work on crappie.

If you try to throw that on a fly rod get a HARD HAT. Been there done that, and IT DONT FEEL GOOD.

[fish_4_all]

Will use it for steelhead and salmon too but it should catch crappie, if not in those colors then in other ones.
