>>929488>joe blado crease flyI have its one of my go to flies, I make them in all different sizes. for fresh and salt. Its a good alternative. cheap, easy to make and its a good search fly. fished on a intermediate like blado recommended. people think theyre poppers and thats where it gets confusing. sure you use a wf floating and you can 'pop' them but it was intended to be more of a wake bait thrown on a intermediate or sinking line. itll plop and swim and then pop back up to the surface or you can just rip them back and move a lot of water which usually gets them looking up. I like them a lot, the only drawbacks are that some will lay on thier side if you dont trim under the hook which truthfully isnt a bad thing makes a good imitation of a dying bait (if youre into that) & that they do tend to get ripped up after a bunch of hits. but at least that means your catching fish..thats why ive been epoxying most of mine. it adds a little weight and they subsurface swim. I have like 50 of these things ready to go.
going to make some craft foam sliders next : )
