June SOTM
June is time for Warm Water and Sunfish. Flies, worms, bugs, or poppers - it's your choice. The only requirement is to use squirmy worms in the pattern. Those silicone tentacles in "Puffer Balls" from the dollar stores. Use them in tails, legs, bodies, or wings.

Exactly my question too! Puffer balls are also unknown in my niche!

At the "DOLLAR TREE" store, they are found in the children's toy aisle. Round or oblong shaped balls made of very soft 'jello like' rubber. If you squeeze it the air inside moves and the skin of the ball looks like a surgical glove. There are usually a few hundred rubbery points sticking out from the skin that are also soft and rubbery. Can't find a photo to post.
OKAY, I'll bite. Count me in for the 'swap'. I'll have to name what I'm tying after I finish it.

Tentacle balls can be had a Dollar General for about a buck. Go back to the junk toy aisle you can't miss them. Mine are at work so I'll try to post a picture tomorrow.

I've been tying with Puffer balls for awhile now. I'll do my Mr. Squiggly.

Glad Allan decided to join us. Welcome. Guess I'll have to go to the Dollar Store. Give a shout, Sjo, if they don't sell squiggly balls at the Euro Store! (Dollar Store is one of several chains where everything is $1.00. I'm not sure the concept has caught on in the Netherlands. Might try whatever the Dutch counter point to Kaufpark is. It was a kind of German Walmart 35+ years ago...)

Found some at the Dollor store.
Gotta do a small San Jaun (sp?) worm.
Unless I can find some with bigger tentacles.
