Pencils...easier than live bait?

[JoeBass]

I love it all. I fish for stripers with Chunk bait, live lining, plugs, plastic and, maybe most of all, flies. Same with trout....this past weekend , here in Vermont, was fly fishing a very promising section of a river. An hour later I had tried 4-5 flies and had missed one. Back to the SUV where I grabbed my spin rod and a couple of large spoons and spinners. 10 minutes later WHAM, a 20 " brown hits a spoon as I'm working it through fast water. I missed another hard hit 5 minutes later. I had to go at that point, but if I had stayed and they weren't hitting any more I might have tried a crayfish or crawler. I just like fishing!

I think those might be more of a spook
fish with rod to side and twitch

Pencils are not that hard to work, get a Gibbs canal special and try that out. Or even one of Mikes and Cape Cod Tackle, his fish well.
