I have fished with the husky jerks as well. They are awesome around here as well. Especially when the water gets high and muddy. [:)]
I’m off to buy some of those split rings…If the lb. test is accurate, they are just what I need…The husky jerk thing is also very interesting.
I have had a lot of luck using the tail dancer. These have a long bill and tend to bounce over the rocks and mud.
Wow! $50 in lost lures is a lot! PM me the river you were fishing in so I can go and fill my tackle box.[sly]
Usually the rivers I fish in are shallow enough that I can just go in and get them. If its too deep I’ll try my best to get them, I rarley loose lures. The biggest upset are those low hanging invisible telephone wires, you get hooked on those and you’re screwed. Most of my tackle is stuff that I find or stuff that I steal from Flycastin. I’m too poor to spend 5-10 bucks on a single lure and if I lose it, you can bet your bobbers that i’m going in after it. Even if it means I have to do some swimming.

How true that is. I look in his tackle box the other day, and theres like 4 of my rapalas from our Green River trip. [:)]
It’s all good though… I am sure I have thieved a thing er 2.
Ahhh…nothing like the thievery between buddies! I haven’t used many rapalas but it seems like I should start, especially on the rivers.
When i was a kid I grew up in Mt green (near Morgan) mu buddy Dawson and I would hike down to the river and camp on Friday nights after school, or in the summer. One morning he wakes me up and says he needs my help. My help (since i was the smaller of the two of us) was to scurry out on this log jam to un-tangle his spinner while he kept some pressure on the line. Needless to say I went swimming that morning in some very chilly water, and yes I did save the spinner. I think he still owes me for that one. Good times those were.
