Thinking I'd like to have something there with a bit more contrast for the fish to key in on.It has big red eyes!
On big flies I kind of like craft store googly eyes- they even rattle a bit.Thinking I'd like to have something there with a bit more contrast for the fish to key in on.
The red spot has been a good budget option since I've been scrapping and recycling so many of these bugs.
What size rod/line do you cast this with?…7wt or 8wt?Popper on a size 2 B10s. Curious how the bucktail will make it react compared to the deceiver tail (looking now, it feels a bit long).

I think Billy uses actual lure skirts. Mine above is tied with FTD bug legs ($1.35 per 200 strand pack) and that's actually less than a tenth of a pack for each color. They're kind of curly, so it looks bulky but is lightweight and the curly strands wiggle a lot in the water.Am I missing a secret section of tying material or do you bass anglers accept the 1/2 pack of rubber legs/flexifloss used per fly?
