Even went high-dollar on the swivels!  👍 🙂

As noted in a earlier post on the Clouser fly with the blade and swivel that Glen talked about.  Material list: swivel is a roller swivel from Jann's Netcraft size 14  Size #0 Colorado blade for a small Clouser and a # 0 fine split ring or a # 1 Colorado  blade for a little larger Clouser size 4 hook to a size #2 hook. I use 15-20 lb'  big game line as a connection for the split ring and the roller swivel. Line goes through the split ring. I use a Gamakatsu B10s in Size #6,4,2 or A Mustad 34007 stainless steel #2 or #4

I want to tie a fly or a jig for a fisherman that trolls for Walleye's in Kansas on an impoundment.  I did a internet search and not finding much.  I haven't caught a walleye in 40 years so I'm clueless.  If you have a recipe or a video, please let me know.

If he is a troller, then he may not be accustomed to casting for walleye. If he fishes only impounded waters, then he needs a simple white or firetiger jig with a trailer, meat or imitation meat, or plastic. If he intends to fish moving water, then clousers with a little flash tied in will work.

What is a firetiger jig?  I think the plan is to troll these also.

I got a black deer tail yesterday; no white though.  I do have some white calves tail.  I think I can get some longer strands from that.

If you're adding anything to a Clouser or jig, like a spinner or some kind of tail, then the "Farrar blend Slinky fiber" is the juice to drink.  

If nothing, but maybe a little flash, is added.....then use untrimmed Bucktail.   The tips give it all the action it needs. 

As far as swivels go.....as long as it spins freely when the fly/jig is dropping then you're good.  The less weight involved in the blade system the better (I think).
