fishfreak Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Since I bought some small diameter rubber legs a while back, I've been having some fun with them. I tied some copper johns with the rubber legs and even tried some pheasant tails on them. Now I know that you can just use the pheasant tail for the legs as well, but I thought what the heck, I'll give it a try. I also bought some Tiemco and Daiichi curved hooks for these. Can't wait to try these out. Now if only I had a better camera to take these pictures with...

reevesr1 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Don't be afraid to use the rubber as a tail as well. I used one recently and it was a' slammin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
