Excellent work, great looking flies and jigs. Really like the pink variations, excellent pictures. I wish I could take pictures like that. Is that a Do IT jig mold that was used in picture, second from bottom.

I pitch & drag flys with a swivel and slip weights plus pull them on a three-way swivel rig.

Look good - would also work well as teaser style bait up above a heavy jig, as long as it is legal in your waters. The coyote spinner style look killer. I have never caught a walleye on a fly either. Someday......

Excellent!
What are u using for the had/bead? Plastic? Is the bucktail hair sufficent to keep the trailer off the ground or do you need to keep the boat in motion in order to avoid snags? I´m wondering if this combo is something that can be used casting from the bank or has to be fished suspended from a boat/float. The latter would be a problem to 90% of my customers.

Jig angling in general and zander(european walleiye) fishing in particular here is hapening from the bank of some canal or river, letting an overweight lead head bump the ground in short leaps. Wonder how fish and poeple would respond to such a rig. Guess there´s only one way to find out...

Yes the head bead is plastic and it helps with lift but in current the fly stay off the bottom. This combo can be cast and retrieved form shore at times I do add a floating bead when I have no current.
