Making and pimping some surface lures

Post by Seniorfisho » Sat Apr 04, 2020 2:39 pm

I'm really bored today so I decided to pimp yp some surface lures, the only problem is I can't test them out.
The yellow and black Cicadas are cheap ebay ones that used to spin, since I added the legs the now don't spin and work really good when you twitch them back, I have caught fish on them but I am dying to try the fly style ones. Anyway, just a bit fun

well i didnt know wtf they were called, but thats sorta like what i was aiming for, but using a jighead and adding some stuff to it lol.
i dont have any fly tying stuff, so its going to be primitive at the best.
cheers
