    Default Zonker strips

    Attica, I've ordered eight colors of Zonkers to play around with after our
    conversation about using them for smallies! If it catches smallies.....I gotta
    have it! Gonna be fun tieing up some jigs with it.

That said, I did better with them in the warmer water when the fish were more active. The skin also makes them more bouyant (sp?) so you get a slower fall.

    I tie some flies (and a few jigs) for bass with a 3"-4" piece hanging off the hook - they have more wiggle than some of my very thin/soft rubber worms.
