I'm a believer...
After reading threads on many boards, I finally broke down and tied up some Gurgle Pops (yellow with a chartreuse tail and red grizzley legs) . I used one Saturday morning and the bass knocked the stuffing out of it. Never did get a bluegill on it though...But I bet I try it again this week!

Not yet, but I plan on going again this week and I'll try to shoot some!

Eights and tens. I did tie one black one (eight) with a bear tail, but I didn't use it.

gamakatsu #4c Bass Stingers will really incease the hook up rate...I know, it is about all I fish with.
Don't let the shorter length throw you, tie 'em wide and hang on.
Added bonus, 'gills, rock bass, largemouth ...about all warm water species will grab on!
