Pie dinner

[stan55]

Size 14 fly hooks are bigger than a wax worm. A size 8 ratfinkee for example is just about the same size as a 14 jig hook. I have no idea why fly hooks sizes are different than regular jigs but they are. I use spikes when I need to downsize to 18s. Using jig hooks and beads I get a 45 degree to almost horizontal hang angle. I also find the jigs work better after the waxie has been chomped a bit and what is left flutters like a tail. I also carry tungsten jigs to use with waxies. I tie them with a snell knot if I want a horizontal hang. Google it to see how to tie it.

I let the fish tell me what they want that day.
