    Default That's a nicea sauce!!


    Many moons ago, Enzo Stuarti(Italian singer/actor) was the Ragu 70's commercial notoriety that touted America's #1 Tomato sauce. As some may know, I have gravitated, thanks Skeet, to ultra-skinny finesse spin-fishing with rewardingly light 2 lb. line class. My recent lure modification/creation evolved from awesome results realized while using natural-colored 3" Senkos(I like cinnamon a lot). Way too heavy, even weightless, for finesse fishing. Recently, the mopfly jig(made using a chamois rag mitt) has created a bit of a stir among DIY's. Fitting that mold(pun intended), I set out w/Google to see what I could generate. Well, after the field-tests have had there due process, you can pull the fork out, the bird is cooked! Tied on a #8 'lil nasty, the chamois "quick-absorb" non-weighted Senko-like "RAGU" fell too quickly. Still caught shallow bream species/bass, but the formula wasn't right just yet. Went to Walmart(camping section) and added Waterproof silicone(added too much) and the RAGU floated = top-water fly rod type action. Exciting in that regard, but not the SLOW-sink that I wanted. Now, I just spritz spray to lessen, not eliminate, absorption. They often hit when it softly lands(like a catalpa worm/caterpillar that falls off a limb! See pic-

    I know, I know that red-belly is wearing a beetle-spin, too gorgeous not to post(again?). Stay tuned for my beetle-spin harness modification...

    Glad you’re having fun with the little stuff, always a rewarding trip when it works. Good idea for the jig, fish pics to follow?

    I love to read your posts brother. You always have such great fun and inject such basic logic with everything you do when it comes to fishing.
    It's pretty neat to see your approach to getting the right fall rate that you wanted. Well done.

    Thanks SK...it reminds me of years ago when a friend suggested "I hope I never make your "hit list"(fix me), to which I promptly responded "you don't need to worry, I only attempt achievable results"!
