Hard bodied flies vs soft

[kjgallaher]

The soft plastic wasn't made from Gulp was it?

While it's not a fly a spoon which has caught a many of fish are not soft at all. Also jig heads are hard and it doesn't seem to hurt them either.

However I think probably you have more time maybe to set the hook if it's soft, but I have nothing really to back that up.

It's natural to want a better mouse trap but peacock and hare's mask are perfect materials, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it! A gold bead at the head of a Hare's Ear nymph, seemed to get Brown trout's attention, maybe the bead sunk the fly so it hit them in the nose.

So here is why I asked....Relative to the other thread where we were discussing blood worms....



I'm wondering if this beaded bloodworm...which has nice segmentation and red color [despite the picture which doesn't do the red justice]... would work as well as other soft ones?

Duckster - Let us know what you find out. I know I'm curious.

OK..it will depend on the weather...Oregon is in the process of getting wet
