All,

I have found something at Joanns ETC that really works, at least on stocker Rainbows. The last time I was in TN, I tied up a bunch of small woolly buggers and used Sulky Holoshimmer thread for the tails of the WBs. The stockers really liked these WBs. It is very durable and I had one WB that I caught over 20 fish on. The body was in shreds but the Holoshimmer looked like new.

The thread comes in a variety of holographic colors and you can mix various colors - gold and green to get an even more unusual impact. I own nine different varieties of this thread.

Just remember, Joanns has coupons each week and occassionally they put threads like this on sale at 40% off.
