No not on a fly rod but it just shows that a bait doesn’t have to be big to catch big fish.

           Yep!

  That first picture of Mrs. BilletHead. That bass was caught on a four inch black wooly buggar . Early in the year I have caught bas almost as big on a slow strip inch and a half dragonfly nymph,

          tjm,

   I guarantee if you have a place with big bass this will work. Easy to tie and easy to throw,

My biggest flyrod bass was caught on a white Sneaky Pete that is about 2 1/4" long.   Just a bit over 5lbs. (guessing).

Sipped it in without even making a ripple on the water.  Thought a bluegill grabbed a leg and tugged it under.  Surprise!

The larger bass sip a popper mostly. Usually when it's sitting still or dead drifting. Let the rubber legs do all the work.

Here's my largest bass on a flyrod. Caught in a small pond in Georgia. I caught it on a small panfish sinking bug.

Of course it had a 6 inch bluegill on the bug as well !

My biggest bass on the fly rod was kinda cheating...my dad caught an 8 pounder and  brought it to my house to put in my pond.  A few months later, I caught it on a panfish popper!  Also caught it twice on lures within the next 6 months, but never saw it again after that.

Reckon she's still in there?    I bet she is.  Just a wise ol'sow.

Nope, that was a bunch of years ago.  Every time I caught her she weighed a little less--she was on the decline, and probably died of old age.
