das Herring Insinuendo meets Pulse Disc...

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Patterns

MY typical starting point…
a sticky sharp hook with a mono thread and Gorilla Glue base topped with Bill's Bodi Braid…

to reek sonar havoc onboard offshore submarines...
an optional acoustic transmitting device...
some 40 or 50# mono with a large glass rattle "welded" into the "V"…
[I prefer Bug-Bond Original thick w/ProTips]…

das Herring Insinuendo…
ONBLEEPINGSTEROIDS…!!!
IMHO: a GAME CHANGER…
the "Pulse Disc"…
Jim Matson did his homework so that I didn't have to...
'tuned for a given size fly…
'induces a hula dance of epic proportion…
a shimmy more profound than my first really BIG wheeled Jeep...
'transmits an acoustic signal that cannot be ignored and/or denied...
while the rattle sends out profane Morse Code…

ONLY 5 more months before the DAZE start getting SHORTER...:eek:

Pete,

The rattler and a hula disc! Woot! That's gotta be a killer fly.

I've tried to get a hold of some of these discs, but haven't been able to find them.

G'day Martin…!!!

There's a special place 65 miles up the road from Area61 called the Bear's Den…
If they don't have it, you don't need it, but they WILL cheerfully get it for you anyway…
BTW: they "have it"… in spades…!!!

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
