    Doll Flys

    Those Ament heads have a similar side view Doll profile, are they wedge shaped like the originals ? Here's a pic you've already seen of what looks like knock off Doll Fly heads with vintage original gold beak point hooks. Original authentic Thompson Doll heads hook eye position was further...

    Doll Flys

    Bucktail is best used for big flies or jigs, & I have no use for it. Your PB jigs look like the originals, do you have a Doll Fly head mold? Actually, your jigs look better than the originals with a fuller tie. Can understand your multi-species success with em, including the snapper. My...

    Trout jigs

    Wow, those are some big hook long tie(?) jigs you use for trout. Mine are #6 & #4 and only an inch long including the mink fur tie. What weight wobble head do you prefer in rivers? Been taking advantage of the mild Winter?

    lighter jigs/smaller lures can make a difference in cold water

    Yup, smaller & slower the best ticket out here in the Midwest cold season open water too. Seems ties work better than plastics here, 1" mink fur jigs have been effective for years targeting trout & previous year smallies, & wallys tho yesterday a skinny 2" PB hair jig seemed unusually...

    Doll Flys

    Have you used the dyed PB hair & if so how did it work? IMO the best use would be natural to take full advantage of the transparent translucent qualities of the material? Been a tuff Winter out here struggling to get even a single bite in the last Fall dry drain killed inter-reservoir canal...

    rock-a-roo jigs

    Excellent historical insight into an area famous jig, particularly the display pic of the originals and spin offs. What I get is that the jigs were for inducing reaction strikes with the complicated ties & colors not resembling any actual forage baitfish or otherwise. And for enticing buyers...

    Kimchi

    I've not tried lots of your indulgences including chicken feet. Was wondering if you crunch up the bones along with the skin ? Indeed, many should be aware that dietary or at least supplemental collagen is critical for maintaining joint function into our senior years. At age 75 I'll be ruff...

    Kimchi

    Hey Mr. HU you missed chicken feet, pigs tails, and cattle hooves? I do a pot of pigs feet soup bout once a month & today my special order of daikon just arrived at Safeway for traditional Okinawan style with konbu. And yup best place to get food borne sick is eating out.

    Kimchi

    From my experience with 2 Korean families and several restaurants kimchi is an every meal staple for ethnic Koreans. I've had napa, head, & mustard cabbage, Japanese & Korean turnip, seaweed, and doraji (kind of a weed root) varieties and all were good except my homemade seaweed version...

    Doll Flys

    Kimchi

    Never had scrapple, since liver & kidneys are toxin filtration organs concerned about chemical-hormone-antibiotic-disease contamination. I haven't eaten cottage cheese in 50 yrs., but good paneer has a smoother than tofu firm consistency without the chalky cc flavor and absorbs curry flavors...

    Trout jigs

    Jm, where are you located? What weight heads and what size hooks? Preferred hook brand & style? I haven't tried blue flash but thinking about it that might mimic dragonflies, bluebottles, & certain minnows.

    Kimchi

    JamesD aged sour kimchi might be an acquired taste as I preferred freshly made at one time. Making enuf to feed a mess hall 2x daily would be a big job. Did the GIs like it? Mr. HU, kudos for your authentic taste ingredients effort - no garlic? Do you marinate the meat in vinegar? I'm...

    Kimchi

    BTW, kimchi is a favored side dish enhancement to a fish meal which is why I posted this topic. Just bought some Kashmiri red pepper powder & garam masala on Amazon which with tomato paste should be a good basis for creating vindaloo. Also some turmeric all Tarkeeb brand which is reasonably...

    Kimchi

    Probably every family has a different kimchi recipe-process, but adding orange is mysterious. Apparently Korean fermented fish sauce is considered essential for authentic Korean flavor. My homemade curry never tastes as good as the packaged variety, tried a few and settled with Tasty Bite...

    Kimchi

    Still making & enjoying kimchi - got 5 different batches in the frig right now including a used sparingly potent batch made with home grown mustard greens back in 2018 and still delicious. I prefer head cabbage but do have a jar made with traditional Korean style napa cabbage aka won bok...

    rock-a-roo jigs

    Wow, great find, great pics, museum worthy items. Looks like dye dipped tails? Unpainted heads as compared with another walleye angling legend Bill Binkelman who was very specific about fluorescent color painted head choices. Every region or even spot will have standout anglers who have...

    rock-a-roo jigs

    Never been but road trip fishing Canada is on my bucket list, & I'd certainly tie up some PB jigs to use in country. They'd be in a tackle box on the return trip back to the USA. Does your fishing gear get searched on your trips?
