I would be interested to hear how you guys use a flaptail. In testing I slow waked it, sometimes twitched it to get some splatter, other times let it drop some, then back on top. Probably other ways to use them too.

Well, if we're going to get into freshie stuff A few that have done well for them. 1/2 oz pencils in wonderbread killed smallies. The one without the hooks will finish out at 3/8 oz and does well in summer. Jitterbug at dusk and after dark = LM.

These are some Fish Sticks (my interpretation of the Tattoo Walking Stick) I just finished up. 4" X 3/4" and about an ounce when rigged.

Found them to be very versatile. You can fish them like a needle, or a pencil, walk them like a spook on the surface or under the surface, and they will dart when retrieved with a jerky action.

Seem to be very popular with my fishing buddies since I have less then half of them left already.

Also working on some handcarved lexan square lipped crankbaits for the freshwater.
