Been reading and looking at these things for a couple of months now But for some reason have failed to order the supplies. If they have been discussed on here before I haven't seen it.
From most of the people who have used them they all rave on them. Some fly tying purists refuse to admit they are flies. I am not into that kind of argument. I just care if its legal to use and does it catch fish. I vastly prefer to catch crappies on my jigs. But if they ain't hittin I ain't quitten and will readily try live bait.
I was just curious to see if anybody else on here was interested in them. The good pix of them certainly look intriguing. The bad pix look like something cobbled together with a blunt stone ax. May be I fear I would produce something like the bad ones.
If you haven't seen them yet just google " gummy minnow ". Metz makes the outer shell under the name Sili Skin. And of course the sheets you use inside the concoction to give the minnow color and depth. Another reason I may not of ordered to try them yet. Is that the material is rather expensive.
Maybe somebody elses opinion will get me to get off the fence. What say you ?
