"Mole"

I thought I had put this on but must have hit wrong key. I finally was successfull in trapping a mole I been chasing. Since uf poor folks can't let anything go to waste, my grandson gave it a shearing of the fine fur. I took a fly-jig I make and quickly tied in a simple tail of some duck flank feather barbs I had handy. I then dudded up a body of my new found treasure, mole hair.:D. Then off to the local canal for a test. I got a couple yellow shiners right off. (groan) We moved to another spot and got on some of the smalish fish there. All in all the mole hair has a nice buggy look and works.
Grab a mole, tie up a jig, and heat up the grease. lol

Glad to see what a Mole is actually good for!!

"good for something" - like the flat eye

If it works it works I don't care what you got to crop I ran out of black one time and the Yorkie ogt a chop job Wife never knew.

Make friends with an animal groomer and you will have more fur than you can ever imagine.

Never would have thought about using mole though but then again I never see the ones that die in their holes here. For such a small critter they sure are mean. Saw a cat one time with one latched onto the base of it's tail.

I have several mole skins for tying. You can buy them pretty cheap. Now if you want really nice and soft hair get yourself some Mink.

:eek:how you hook dem buggers in nearly da same spot?bet couldn't do dat again in a million"!:DThat mole seems like a winner ,looks like its dubbed on"...

grub, Almost every fish I get this time of year is an upper lip hook but one of these wasn't. I moved the hook out where it could be seen, Sure wasn't a fish worth showing off. lol
As with any buggy body, it was dubbed on as I said in the report.

I like it,definitely a gill getter.

Ok, what is a yellow shiner? If that is what the fish in the first pict is, looks like a yellow perch to me? Can't see the whole fish tho.

"My sediment exactly"wasn't trying to imply any negativity":)The mole looks like a winner"
It merely looked to me the same hook up spot as the prev.pic,I assumed you may have adjusted for the photo"
I do that sometimes to show off my jig catches"...

It most certainty looks a lot like what i tie for the gills, only" most times after it's launched ,it looks like I'm dragging a mat of lake grass trailing behind it":D
Slinger"preciate the paint, and thinner tips last month bud,been applying the tips, and working out very well for me now"specially the eye droppers you told me about i bought at the local drug and sundry"Thanks":)

I use the micro polar now"he"he"...sides" the #2 toilet bowl wax ring gasket i use for cheap sticky wax on the dub,has a tendency to dry, and discolor i noticed!
I was applying too much I suppose"?:rolleyes:
