crab patterns and others
Posted: September 28th, 2008, 6:07 pm
I've been playing around with a few semi-merkins crab patterns for both the salt and Lake Hall (as craws). I used EP 3D fibers instead of yarn:
The silvery one in this photo has mother of pearl sili-skin over the fibers so it acts as more of a spoon. I was testing it on Lake Hall today and got a nice chunky bass on it around noon today under bluebird conditions. I was just dead sticking it, letting it glide over the weed tops:
The last image shows a few slinky fiber and puglisi fiber minnows I tied earlier in the year. I had some luck with bass and specks on them (better luck with the slinky fiber):
This last photo shows an estaz curl tail worm - I last a big bass on it a few weeks ago. it snapped my tippet like it was thread.
