>>1127685>>1127691I made a couple earlier in the year (I'm the guy who sucks at shooting them). I've gotten a few gar on them, they work better than regular flies, but I still have about 1 in 3 come off.
They work much better on bigger gar (big longnose and alligator gar), unfortunately I'm stuck fishing drainage ditches for them and I get small longnose and average shortnose gar here.
Did get a surprise bowfin last weekend on one, I still can't believe he held onto it long enough to land him. 3lbs. Tons of fun on an 8wt and 1x tippet.
