One of the most effective baits for largemouth bass is the rubber worm. just because we are fly fisherman doesn't mean we can't take advantage of that. Rabbit strips make a great artificial worm with an added bonus of a more lifelike appearance.
I fish this fly on a 6 weight rod and it works great. I only use bunny leages when bass fishing. They work just as good as rubber ones.
It's a nice fly but it looks awfully heavy -- wrapped lead, cone head, wet rabbit. I would be tempted to try it on a spinning rod. What's the lightest fly rod/line you can throw that with, without having to lob it?
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
