Well the poodle has a baboon butt on it now. Naw just kidding. Its a piece of short strung marabou of of one of them girly costumes . Don't ask I know what you are thinking . No I did not get it in a house of ill repute. Nor do I have a pole set up in my house other than the one I take to the lake.Hawnjigs said:

I say striper fly and knot. 
Would try it out on the Tennessee River below the Chickamauga Lake Dam in Hixon, TN. I think I'd need a cannon of a fly rod to launch it though.

Cannon fly rod and full body armor for me!Pup said:I think I'd need a cannon of a fly rod to launch it though.
:beat-up:Would be interested to see that thing wet and the fluff slimmed down... is the white body maribou?

Looks big enough to be able to cast with a ultra lite spinning outfit .... Might have to use it with down riggers for trolling for stripes (Kings, Spanish & etc.) ...
What size is the hook ??
Toughen it up some with a little epoxy and let the Saltwater boys have at it.
All right

Nice work! That ought to catch a biggun!
Hey thanks for the thumbs up ya'll . That is if memory serves me right a 9/0 cedar plug hook. Its made to go completely through a plug body. Now days the things are about 3 bucks a piece . When I bought them they were 82 cents. I did a few special order saltwater stuff once . Got 5 or six hooks left over. One thing is the bigger it is the easier to tie . In my opinion I pretty much stink doing trout flies .
