Questions about Boobies

Pretty strong takes so much so fish number 4 never slowed down and might still be swimming around with my fly in it’s mouth. Can these be fished with a intermediate sink line? What retrieves have worked for you? What colors have worked for you? Sizes?

Yes. I fish a 2-fly Booby rig on an intermediate line a lot. Usually a small impressionistic fly on the dropper w/ Booby 24-30 inches on the point. I was very skeptical at first... and that went away in hurry. I usually keep this rigged up and troll from spot to spot with it. If I don't draw a strike within 5-10 minutes I will stop and strip it back quickly. Also, if I get a hit/miss I will stop immediately... 9/10 times the come back and strike it on the pause/rise.

I started out tying and fishing a size 10 Tequila Booby and haven't wavered from it.
