Thread: I need chartreuse flick tails BADLY!

    Default I need chartreuse flick tails BADLY!


    I'm in Richmond, VA. I can't find any flick tails anywhere. Does anyone have a place online (hopefully) where I can order some 1/64 (I think) chartreuse flick tails? I have a swamp pond south east of me that is chock full of fliers and freckle that love the chartreuse flick tail. The freckle treat it like a minnow and the fliers treat it like a shrimp.

    Let me know please!

    I sell them but they are not identical. Mine have more motion to them. All I had in front of me was the green. I have chartreuse plus other colors and in smaller sizes.

    In Arkansas a ''Flier'' is a type of small sunfish. But never heard of a 'freckle '' ,that's a new one on me too!

    "Freckle" is a Virginia nickname for Crappie. A "flier" is in the sunfish family. They are copper colored, have smaller mouths than a bream (or "brim" or bluegill) and feed on small water bugs, freshwater shrimp and other tinier eats.

    The flick tail I'm looking for is manufactured and/or packaged by Fall's Tackle. It's barrel shaped body with a small flat tail at the end and comes on a card with 2 hooks; each with a red, black and white painted jig head.

    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    Question for you. How difficult is it to simply design my own form and then pour'em? I dont' mind eliminating the maker, suppliers, etc.

    PS. The Falls Tackle Flick Tail is that good....

    Good question. I actually design and cast my own stuff. Get ready for weeks of work and moments of failures. Anything pertaining to casting and pouring is generally a military secret. I found I spent as much $$ then if I had just let someone else do all the work, but I wanted a special application.
