I would be interested to hear how you guys use a flaptail. In testing I slow waked it, sometimes twitched it to get some splatter, other times let it drop some, then back on top. Probably other ways to use them too.

Well, if we're going to get into freshie stuff

A few that have done well for them. 1/2 oz pencils in wonderbread killed smallies. The one without the hooks will finish out at 3/8 oz and does well in summer. Jitterbug at dusk and after dark = LM.
