Laying in bed the other night I thought of this ridiculous fly. This anti-liberal tactical assault minnow consists of this: 1 Rem .223 casing with a 3/32" hole drilled for the rear hook shank, 5/32" hole drilled for the eye to pass through the flash hole, OD green paracord shredded at the tip with flex seal to hold the shape, Gamakatsu b10s 2/0 hook, utc 140 blk thread, small rubber band to fill

      @King_Fisher Nevermind I weighed my heaviest fly (wet) on my reloading powder scale and it was about 61 grains... 👆this thing was 109 grains Haha! It's going ...more to suck casting, wish I still had my 9wt

      @King_Fisher Not yet. I'm definitely going to throw it with my 8wt though. It seems to be close to the same weight as my hybrid hog leech fly with 7/32 dumbell ...more eyes. I wont be throwing nice loops

      Challenged to come up with some outlandish fishing lure/rig that we had to catch something on to receive credit! I've got an idea of what I want to do, I just ...more don't know how to do it yet

      It stemmed from a previous blert of a bass popper outfitted with nylon rope in place of the rear treble to catch gar and @MulletHead 's nested 'bama rig ...more idea from a couple years back. We were then

      the space where the primer was, red 3d eyes cut at an angle (zap a gapped on and covered thoroughly with flex seal), and a dremel with a cutting wheel for hook slot ...more to the 3/32" hole.
