wild idea moment. took a small hook,8 or 10 IDK. crimped a bb shot worked part of a pipe cleaner around, did somemore wraps ,then painted it. .did some dental floss to collar, why . just something to do.
I did take it our yesterday morning and hooked 2, lost the first one at the shore, but got this one, Im sure most find this boring, but it was fun. I used some vice grips for a vice lol but I ordered a tying vice. Im not really a fly fisherman, but Im gonna tie some stuff I can through on my 2# test

Looks like it worked to me. What more is there? It either works or it doesn't. It caught fish... Good enough.

I can see, Stalker is hooked!! You will be surprised what will catch fish. Caught a bream on a worm once and a bass on the red and white plastic bobber at the same time, more than once.

That’s cool. I have seen some very creative flys/lures made with very minimal supplies that caught fish. Good job.

My brother in law lived there. Moved him down here about 10 years ago. Never heard of it before then. Lots of lakes around there
