Arofishing Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Huge shout out and much thanks to Flysmallie for sending me the following assortment of bugs. He even included his latest creation, the very sexy hair lip frog. Don't know what I did to merit this kind of generosity, and despite the ulterior motives that some may want to attribute to him, I can report that I found no love note to substantiate those untoward rumors. I am just incredibly thankful, and frankly, a little speechless at the quality and the amount I received. OAF is such an awesome place with posters like this hanging around! I'll be sure to use these this Friday on the James. Family is coming down for a reunion on Table Rock and I talked a couple of my cousins into coming down early to float out of Hootentown Friday morning.
Jack Jones Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 My package arrived today too. Thank you very very much. I can't wait to put come of those on the line at the Delaware Access. I hope I get a chance to go one night this week. Company is coming this weekend so if not this week, then it may be a little while. Either way, I'm also going to try my Rio Versa-leader at the same time to get these down quick and hopefully tease some action up. Muchas Gracias pal.

Flysmallie Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I hope they are very productive for you guys. Jack I shorted you on the frog but all I had was the original and the one I sent to Aro. I'll get some more done soon and make sure you get one. When I got started I was very lucky to have a bunch of guys show me the ropes and turn me on to some things, I'm just paying it forward. Enjoy and share some reports with us.

Arofishing Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 Yeah, that guy is a class act, for sure.. Absolutely, hope I can repay the favor someday. Part of me doesn't want to use them at all and just use them for prototypes and keep them around for aesthetic value on my shelf, seriously. But I wouldn't do that, I know they were given to me to catch fish! I took a lot of pictures for prototypes in the future. A couple questions: What material are you/others using for the hair on the clouser minnows? Is it synthetic? What material is used for the body of the buggers, it's almost like tinsel? I really want to get some of this stuff for buggers. I've found flash yarn almost like this, but I really want to get some of this stuff to avoid using hackle as much as possible Are you using the same stuff, just a different color, for the body of the bug with the rubber tail and the gurgler? If not, what is it? Sorry for all the questions.
