Tagger 12-04-2006, 04:22 PM was thinking that pencil popper looked good before you painted it ,, spooks too ... I see big popper and whats the slope head ? darter attemt ? You'll catch on that pencil I bet ,,. I see large pouncing on that just as the sun peeks above the horizon .. no dought,,, Belly hook may be back a tad much but alot of good spook types (ballerina) have the belly hook back like that .. go walk it ,,,let us know .

steelhead 12-18-2006, 09:13 PM Hey Salty, I see the flyrod gathering dust this spring :-)
Nice plugs.
What wood are you using.
Cyprus works good with screw eyes.
saltydog 12-18-2006, 11:42 PM HAY STEELHEAD, the WOOD is PINE DOWELLS. QUESTION. when I use to go to N.Y.NOODLE-RODDING we used a LONG piece of solid LEAD 3/8th by 1.1/2 in a SLINKIEE. was woundering if you new where I could get the LEAD? as for the FLY ROD. just picked up another SAGE RPLXi.one never has to meany.
