What am i doing wrong.

[mick dunn]

Not had much luck with the boobies--the few guys i do see fishing do not like the sinking lines and prefer the sporting method of an intermediate.
Thanks for the info Charlie i will have a look.

Boobies

It's right what the lads are saying: because trout usually take the Boobie in very deep, it makes 'Catch-and-Release' awkward.

However, if there's a bit of a 'wave' on, try 'skidding' a boobie across the surface as you would a 'wake' fly. The 'follows' are often obvious and exciting and the 'take', heart-stopping.

Don't forget, any fly can be tied 'Booby' style. I've tied 'Dawson's', 'Cats',
'Appetisers' and many more all with 'styrene boobs'.

You may be able to add poly balls to a 'bought' lure simply by wrapping them tightly in a piece of cling film and whipping them on to the eye of the hook.

Won't look owa pretty but might work.

Tight lines,

Drof.

I wrap the styrene balls in nylon from our lasses old tights I say old coz she goes daft when I use ones she's wearin and it tricky cutting a moving target LOL
