how do you weight it?
Very good tying video. Thanks for sharing.
This picture of the rigs looked perfect in my edit but once uploaded to youtube are cropped tight. Here is a few of the rigs from the videoAttachment 388422Attachment 388423Attachment 388424
In my neck of the woods I like to add a Gulp 1" leach on these lil guys and go right down into the brush pile/log jam hunting. The leach is enough weight to slowly sink the fly. Any one of those fly's are good but fire tiger would be a go to for me. In the bush I would go single fly, in open I like the twin rigs you have pictured here but with a minnow.Attachment 388448
Nice video!
The fly and rigging kind of reminds me of the No Name Lure. They are really tiny hooks and they say for Blakeys Bass, but I don't think that is what I would use them for, lol! The hook with the lead is the only weight and is 1/40 Oz. The hooks look like a #12 really light wire.

We used to use those when we were a kid skip many years ago we used to tip them off with cut bait.Quote:
