Wacky worm fly...
Well I saw a spin guy doing really well on smallies
with a wacky so when I got a chance
I sat down at the desk and just x tyed in some
long slender black hackle about mid shank on a
#6 something or other hook and though it worked
well in the water, I've yet to hook a bass with it.
I may try something with marabou
this next time because after seeing that guy
with the rubber wacky doing well when I wasn't
kinda inspired me to stick with it.
I can see where the chennile could work too.
The guy with the rubber wacky was fishing the
rig dead drift, unweighted in barely moving water...
...every once in a while he'd wiggle the rod tip side to side.
I'm not sure but I think the feathers I'm using are too stiff
but I was using larger hackles to get the 8 to 10 inch length
I wanted, which was about what the rubber worm length was.
Anyway, good luck finding something in a 'wacky worm fly' or
inventing something of your own !
Cheers,
MontanaMoose
