Poured some 1/4 oz. ball collars with a 2/0 sickle hook.My intentions are to use them for fluke next month on my three day fishing trip in New Jersey.Respooled the light action Ugley Stik with the Mitchell 300 x with some 15 lb. Power Pro just for the little stuff.A 10 lb. fluke would feel pretty good on that rig.

Those look great Bruce. Tie up a few black jigs using that chenille you used on the chartreuse jig. I use one like that a lot and have good catches on it.

Yep,it's got blue flecks of mettalic in it.The flash down the sides of the jig is black sapphire krystal flash.Got that from Crazy Angler,don't have a # on it though.Chenille I mean.

I have'nt tried them this big yet.Made a couple with marabou then remembered how sharp the flukes teeth were.In the water they look like marabou on steroids.Should do the trick.Bad thing is if you have to use a Gulp the tail slims down to nothing wet,very hard to get a Gulp on there unless you put it on when dry.
