Float n Fly

[Dutch]

It has been a long time since it has been mentioned.  I am getting ready to wipe the dust off my FnF setups.  Do any of you guys still use it?

you betcha ! 

currently using a 7'4"mxf Quantum Smoke spinning rod with a Revo S 30 spooled with 10lb braid.  use 2 sizes of a yellow and orange pear floats. A  leader of 6lb fluoro or xt mono. length varires.

the fly I make myself with craft hairs, feathers ,chenile and sickle hooks on regular minnow heads or these 1/16 or 1/8  UV minnow heads  (http://www.cabelas.com/product/NORTHLAND-UV-FORAGE-MINNOW-DART/2359846.uts?productVariantId=4798068&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=04561311&rid=20&gclid=CKPzj5fgj9ECFdm6wAodS7ACWw&gclsrc=aw.ds) i like the exrta hook for open water applications. just don't throw these around wood 

 It's a great way to catch bass from the shore for guys like me who do a lot of bank fishing. Caught my personal best spot 2 years ago on the FnF from shore. 

good luck and merry christmas!

I bought and used the FnF when it first came out and loved it.  I brought it on guide trip somebody gave me as a gift on Tablerock.  We were having a slow day and I told the guide about it.  We whacked them for two hours and he was sold.  I haven't used it in years though.  I used an old 8' fly rod with a spinning reel.

I threw the old floater bug yesterday up the James when the A rig wouldn't do any good.  The FnF didn't either.

Fish24/7 I make my own also.  At first I bought from the Dale Hollow store as we were thinking about going on a smallie trip over there but it didn't pan out.  The last I bought was from Hobby Lobby.  I just use a ball head jig that I pour with a #2 hook.
