Was tinkering around in the garage last night getting stuff together for the the weekend and had an idea...

MINI WAR-BLADE!!!

Its a 1/4 or 3/8 bitzy bug(been in my box forever) with a very small willow blade war-blade style
The whole thing is only 3.5 maybe 4 in. long The blade spun great even just on the fall.

Couldn't wait to get to SD to try it out on some "spots" :Explode: so hit Dana before, and after work.

Hit 2 sandies in the morning while getting rained on:Cool:, Then 3 spots and 1 sandie after work in the sun and wind:Thumbs Up:.
all fish caught durring high tide. (no luck at low tide on my lunch break:Big Grin:)

Good test run but by the time I got home the skirt needed replacing:Confused:.

Here are the 2 biggest of each species around 13"

Niiiiice!!!!!
Good job Mountain Goat!
I just got some new line, hooks, jigs, bullets, worms & craws last night. I'm ready to hit it again w/ya!

Proof once again that it isn't really the bug but the skillz behind the bug. I bet you would get bit on a chunk of broccoli :ROFL:

Nice job out there sir!

Keep up the assault!

well Bones, you know what they say, it's not what's in your tackle box, it's how you use it :ROFL:

As for the lure I thought it turned out great, the color choice was due to the stained water, clear water I would probably go for silver/pepper with a silver blade. Classic chartreuse/white always a good bet too.

next time I'm going to try one with a Colorado blade.

Well bigger jig, small Colorado blade similar results
