Have you tried tying any balanced leeches on allens jig hooks? ive been contemplating ordering some because they have smaller sizes, but i dont think the eye will work.
I've been playing with fish skulls.
Love that reel! Have one for my 4wt.
I ended up with an Loop Aeg Trout Bum 5wt, Moby Crane Net, and a Asollo Hiking Backpack and some cash thats going towards a boat bag!
