Restoring an Old Favorite

[Pup]

Added my own personal touches to this 1/6-oz. Bomber Mini-Whacker from yesteryear after I replaced the swivel between the wire loop and blade.



The original skirt was missing, so I replaced it. Its "replacement" is tied with Premier Yarn's LashMax. The split tail consists of Tandy Premium Leather.

Chartreuse and white is a favorite color combination of mine with regard to spinnerbaits and river bass. I hope that this one tempts them at least as well as the originals did...and still do.

Very nice bait and nice tying. I like a chart/white too.

Mac,

I purchased most of mine directly through Premier Yarns online when they advertised a special through an e-mail. This was quite some time back. If not there, your best bet will likely be eBay. I don't believe that you have any Meijer Stores in Tennessee, but that's where I purchased three skeins on clearance @ $2.49 each about two months ago.
