Thanks fellas
Got off just before the dark clouds started to move in this morning. Played 2 innings. 6 strike outs. One has bling bling, as I seemed to have a knot in my leader. Lost 6ft of leader and a vabrado. Short work week then fly fishing for largies on the weekend.
Well, back to the tackle shop to get more supplies. LOL J/K
I watch ties and do my own take, as I do not have all the supplies in the world . That tie looks fun to do and I can mix it up a bit with what I have. One great tip I picked up is, those tails can be tied with brush bristles. Have been doing it ever since I came across it.
Thanks Tom
Just quickly tied up 3 to try. Using ctc olive for the body. Much easier then doing dubbing. Tied on a #10. Added some light lead wrap, to get it down a bit faster.
I wrap the shank and use super glue then put the popper head on. It is to be wrapped with mono, but I did not have any. That is Maraboo on both poppers. The others are Polar Chinalle and rabbit. I am just playing with these and yes, I get the longer shank thing. I have watched some Deceiver ties. Those things are huge.
I like to tie a few when I get home from work. It really relaxes me. Problem I really have is, I will wake up in the middle of a sleep with a tie idea, and cant go back to sleep. Ok, possessed I guess.
Im really going to be putting the fly rod first this year. Largies are on my mind right now, and the vise is my friend. So is Youtube.
Playing with simple right now, and will go from there.
Need to hit Lens Mill, for some thick wool to make some senkos next.
15 KM? PFFT
LOL
When Im out for the day on a lake, small lake, I will cover probly 5-7 km. I can row that toon pretty good. I can flip at a good pace as well.
Let me know if your heading up.
Thanks guys.
Should of strolled more today, as my go to smallie spot was abandon. Not a fish to be seen. Not a bed as well. Terry covered more water then I and was the same. Well that was up til I left. It is becoming sand filled for some reason. No longer the rocks and weed beds. Time for largies with the fly rod next weekend.
