Default Tarantula

Yep son and I were fishing it yesterday AM in Central Oregon until the
incoming storm chased us home. We were using one fly fishing where I
embedded glass rattles in it and it conked my boy nicely up side of the
head. (thanks wind ugh!)

With an ultralite, you can hunk them a country mile! Later he was ultralite
casting it cross wind, the wind caught it, sent it back and he had to drop
to his knees to keep that sucker from hitting him in the face g Dang wind!

With that wind blowing us, just a little twitch makes them wiggle but your
Spectastic would be better if we could figure out how to use it on topwater
g

The wind kicked our fannies on LM bass but he landed three smallies with it.
Now that you mention it, betcha those shellcrackers or big hybrid bream you
all have would hit these tarantulas nicely. I designed them to mimic those
huge black tarantulas in the Ozarks and those brown tarantulas in West
Texas. Both colors seem to work the same around logs, rocks, way back under
overhanging trees, and probably also in flooded kudzu. This time of year
there are some huge terrestrial bugs around.

Good luck!
John

One question and one suggestion.

The question: Do you have bass big enough to justify it?

The suggestion: you should take the picture next to somethning so we can
get a sense of scale.

George it is with something you can judge the scale with
Looks like it's in a fly tying vice's jaws,, that's really looks like a
small popper that even a bream would hit. Great detail, dang good looking
popper
