[cool] I tie flies and make dressed jigs too. I have been using the GID flashabou for both fly patterns and ice fishing jigs for quite awhile. Never took a poll (pole) with the fishies to see if I overdecorated or not, but it's true that sometimes less is more.
I know one guy that gets bait off a pier that likes to use little GID flies at night to catch all kinds of stuff. Lit up flies also work well for surf perch and jack smelt, especially when sweetened with a little bait or shrimp attractant. Never got any corbina on them, but they should be good for croakers.
Oh yeah, I used to slam the big lingcod up off San Simeon on green neon. Got a few decent ones out off the oil rigs between Santa Barbara and the Islands too. Had a couple of big soupfin sharks eat the brightened iron too.
