What would you like to see?

His scuds are great also. His soft shelled scud is another pattern I try to copper but they never turn out anywhere near the quality of his.

I say and hope I get to stop in at his shop everytime I get down to Taneycomo, but some reason or another I never get a chance too.

Probably becuase I am too busy fishing the whole time hehe.

I have never used copper wire to rib my g-bugs, but it makes sense.

I guess you do well on it tied that way?

I say if it works for you then do it. I personally dub a body and palmer the herl like a hackle. I can see how the wire rib would make it much stronger.

Thanks for the idea Seth.

I tied up some last night and I left out toe copper wire ribbing. I will give them a try this weekend when I get down to Taneycomo and see if the fish care.

JoRob, have you fish with Brett before or stopped in his shop?

[jOrOb]

I have never had the pleasure. I have seen him on the water a number of times, and I like you keep saying I am going to go by and visit his shop, but I usually end up fishing instead.

The John Deer micro-jig was originated by Big Dale Wilkinson, one of Dallas Texas's Road Kill Road Table Tyers and a regular tyer at Southern Council Conclave. He ties it on a 1/100 jig.

Big Dale ties a series of "tractor logo" micro-jigs, i.e J. D., Allis Chambers, and etc.
