KnotLikely Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 What do you find to be the most productive SJW. Chenille, Floss, Wire, Cobra Cord, a combo of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 i only use wire, so i can use it as weight...i rarely use them anyway, but that will be the recommendation from everyone i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rocknbugs Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Mustad ALL AROUND ref#37160 size #6 hooks, & 24 guage red wire is all that you need, I have fished a few differant Worms but this one is by far the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladystrange Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 i have a couple of red floss ones, a red wire wrap one is heavy the other is really light - not sure but i think it is a plastic wrapping, it doesnt sink and i have a few brownish pink cheinelle (sp?). in my newly accquired tying glass bead flies, there are a few worm patterns tied with beads, dont know how productive they are. but they look pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchy Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 What do you find to be the most productive SJW. Chenille, Floss, Wire, Cobra Cord, a combo of those? I've had my best success with wire wrap and chenille both.. but always with a bead head. I don't think I've ever caught a trout on a non bead head SJW.

Brownstone Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I tie most of mine wrapped in lead and covered with different shades of body wrap (Cobra cord or similar) ... I find it gives them a little more bulk than a straight wire worm..both have worked equally well for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnotLikely Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I've always used wrapped wire in the past on a straight shank with a bead. I've tried the 'All Rounds' but found that for one reason or another they seem to tangle with my dropper more than a straight shank. (I tie my droppers to the eye and not the shank...might be why) All that said I probably get a higher percentage of fish on the dropper anyways, and not the worm, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
