>>944077that is fucking funny as shit because i deleted the part of my post saying "its basically a mickey finn with a tail.."
hooks: yeah that happens. ebay has what you need. find a good generic hook. better to buy in bulk than get ass raped buying dozens of specific types. tiemco's will put a drain on the budget.
hackle: can get costly but can last quite a while
universal color: nope thats why you see people with boxes of the same pattern in diff colors. For me "universal color" is olive over white. with flash or sometimes not. this color seems to always work at some point where ever i'm at.
youll need some stick on eyes eventually as well.
