I ordered a LOT of stuff from CAT. Mostly chenille and it was killing me to use one of the colors called Varagated Gray Craw #2. I bought some Fish Skulls and then got hit with an idea, almost hurt! I thought about Pup's jig-n-worm and made something like it...not an easy task and then used an ultra minnow head about 1/4 oz. The Fish Skulls are weighted but are really light, the large weighs in about 1/16 oz. Won't be able to use in this pattern with the Fish Skull cause of the possible buoyancy of the rubber bungee cord used to make the worm body.

LOve the colors! I think it will work well with white bass and waleye.

Nice ties. The bungee rubber that I've used sinks like a rock. Have a friend who ties weighted flies with fish skulls and we both think they are pretty neat. :cool:

Great ties!!!! Even if the bungee affected teh buoyancy I wouldn't think it a problem you could give it more action as it slowly sank just like a real worm would.

Definately want to hear about the results of those when you get to fishing them!!!

The results are very good! Those bugs got sent down Wishes and Fishes in Bull Shoals, Arkansas, for the trout fishermen. They like those bugs. Next time I talk to the store owner, I'll see if can't some pictures from some of the customers.
