fishinwrench Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I think these are gonna be my new favorite Crappie fly. I don't like his hook of choice though.....So I went with a standard Clouser hook. Ryan Miloshewski, dpitt, kjackson and 4 others 7

Instead of strip, strip, strip it will be strip jiggy, strip jiggy, strip jiggy. 😄 kjackson 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

The farther back it is....the more the fly GLIDES. The closer it is to the eye....the more it JIGs. I dislike those jig-style hooks, they remind me of "Euro"......and I'd rather lick fish poop off my boat carpet than to fish a stupid Euro nymph. 🙄 Ryan Miloshewski, BilletHead and kjackson 2 1

The older two did a fine job until they grew-up and got their own careers, but Mama has spoiled this youngest one to the point that she's TOO GOOD to scrub pontoons or stick her hands into any bilge areas. 🙄 snagged in outlet 3 1
