Looks like it would be a good one for bluegills Skip Do you have to have a diecutter For the shell Or the back.
I guess I should've clicked on the link Below that beetle That is a pretty cool site They give you all the instructions on how to tie different patterns I bookmarked it Thank you Skip for posting.
I know it's a fly , but do you think it could be tied on say a 1/64. Just a thought. Still it's cool, thanks for the post.

Great pattern skip.That is a great site.I have it bookmarked too and have learned a lot from it.
I don't know how good it will catch fish because the beetle skip posted is a top water fly but i have tied one on a jig.(I had to try it.LOL)Quote:

Good effort on your tie, very nice!
Hey I am not sure the fish will know they don't sink, lol! Anyway yes and if I tie it then will use it with my fly rod in May for Blue Gill.

What's out yesterday Tying jigs Shame on you guys for giving me the BUG Again Maybe I will try to post Some today sometime.
Hobby Lobby has some sheets of 2 and 3 MM foam in many colors for cheap. 1 sheet is about a lifetime supply for me.
Yes I loaded up on the foam years ago and never use it, but will soon start tying some for my fly rod!

Had the same thought on the application to a light headed jig
Let us know how it works out
By the way are you spinning or fly fishing it ? :confused:
billygee :rolleyes:
For many years Skip I used a fly rod With monofilament This is a way that I fish for crappies I had more control action Using jigs I don't presently have a flyrod But I'm considering about buying another I believe I use a 8ft We did this for about 15 to 20 years When I was a young guy If you have not tried toFish jigs this way With monofilament It is awesome As you use your fingers Slowly bringing in the line With a slight taps.Quote:
