Swap Time my Friends!
How a Swap Works

Let’s try something a little different on the swap this time and try a Float n Fly swap.
To those that do not know just what Float n Fly is about, it’s all about catching BIG smallies in the winter time. Using a FnF rod or a crappie rod will work. Crappie rods were actually used in the beginning days of this technique. Basically FnF is using a special design bobber to suspend a jig on points, rocky cliffs or over weed beds in the winter to catch big bass. We play with the FnF here in KY mostly at Dale Hollow Lake. However I do know of a few that do this throughout the Mid-West.

Now the really cool part of FnF you ONLY use a 1/16 oz jig heads. Therefore you crappie boys should be interested as the same jig can be used for crappie fishing. I sell lots of FnF jigs and I can tell ya at least ½ buying are crappie fishermen/women.
It’s all about the suspension and weight combo for FnF fishing. I use a number of different materials deer, fake fur, Krystal Flash and duck. But always use a thread neck on the jig. The jig while suspended is in a pointed down somewhat pose which drive the smallies crazy. Using a thread neck you can decided if you want a collar jig or not it really doesn’t matter.
So that’s about it on FnF info for ya.
Now FnF season here in KY started about a week ago and if the weather holds should be good thru mid Jan if we are lucky. My first and probably only trip will be the day after Christmas this year. So I would really like to see this Swap be over and complete by Christmas so I can test your jigs out.
Lets git r done by Dec 22. If I have all the jigs here by then I will ship them back to you on Dec 23.

Jigs do to me by Dec 22 that give you a week to tie yours and get them in the mail.
Jigs back in the mail to you on Dec 23rd
I know it’s kinda a short swap but they are just thread necks and they tie really fast.
Remember
JIGS must be 1/16 oz and a thread neck!
Here are a few pics of some of my FnF jigs to help with ideas.
Thanks Bo
