ok - your divers worked better than mine - I just started. Nice contrast with the pink / yellow / chunks ahoy. What hair are you using (dyed ? elk, bucktail, rabbit, ...)

Tail: (should be) zonker strips tinsil marabou body: cross cut rabbit head: more marabou
It is not suprising on this snack food obsessed board that you notice the cookies and not the sheet music (which go together don't ya know)

when I used to play the trumpet - I found cookies to plug the valves too much - had to be ice cream ;D
And just who's .... oh, you said obsessed . . .
Anyhow - I'm in need of flies for bass so .... so some small divers, and poppers are in line.

YA i am promised a server upgrade but right now during peak times we get that message it is a drag but what am i gonna do i ain't changing things again (John wil kill me) As far as the couple of cookies vs sitting over a hole in the ice......What are you saying there isn't any high volume "consumption" going on over holes in the ice? I thought the best part about ice fishing was the drinking and or the cooking.... HAHAHAHAHA all in good fun eh??

Ya those are pike flies. They don't float but when tied w/o weighted eyes they are very neutral boyancy.
I think the cross cut rabbit on the body gives great movement but i am thinking if i palmer it with the fur "reversed" then the hair would sit forward and on strips move back then return on stops
BTW these are just variations on the "bunny leech" but for the record i call them 'Butt Ugly' (obvious really) 'Some Skunk Funk' (based on the colours and after the Brecker Brothers tune) and the "O' Canada"
