  1. I had a very weird experience fishing Friday at Chain lakes. The weather got bad, so we decided to head in. As I was walking to my truck I got a series of shocks from my graphite rod I was carrying. As I was about to tell my friend of about this strange event when he jumped from a shock he got from his graphite rod. What I believe was happening was that the ground was becoming charged in responce to the charge of the storm clouds above us. In other words we were about to get hit with lightening. A good reminder graphite rods are pretty good conductors and that you are essentially holding a lightening rod while fishing. We were almost at my truck when this happened and made it home without a problem. By the way the fishing was poor with lots of mud. A couple of fish took a dry fly but that was about it....

  2. I've had good luck with these on lakes recently. I usually put a red bead or if I want more weight a tungston bead behind the cone. I also use a small amount of marabou for a tail.
