Flying Lure

[Granny]

I just happened to catch an infomercial yesterday on the Flying Lure. Does anyone use these lures for LM Bass? I remember hearing about them a few years ago but I never tried them. I am supprised that after 10 years they havn't made them more weedless.

Granny,

The flying lure is just a plastic tube. Its flatter than most tubes and the jig head that you put inside it makes it swim somwhat backwards once the cast is made. Tubes in general are great fish catching lures. I use them a lot threwout the year. I dont use the Fling lure brand however.

You can rig a tube on a texas rig and it it very weedless. However its not easy to do with a jig head inside the tube like the Flying lure is. I have heard people that run a rubber band that people who have braces wear from the eye of the hook to the barb and use that as a weed guard. And I hear that it does work.

Granny I saw that commercial as well. I was debating whether to call or not. Maybe we could split an order? I'm not sure how much more effective they'll be.

Frogs,

I think the ad even said buy 2 get one free.

The thing that bothers me is that you only get 10 hooks with the set and from what Exudedude posted the "advantage" to the Flying Lure is the motion which is caused by the special weighted hook. If you loose these 10 hooks your out of luck unless you can order more. I am going to look for a web page and see if I can get some more info.

Ebass,
Whats new?
I actually went back and read through the pages of that story the other day while enjoying a couple adult beverages. My buddy was laughing his butt off.

Granny, as far as life is concerned I ruined my relationship with my girlfiend. Which happens to be STFCatfish's daughter in law. And if you read this Steve and Lisa I'm truely sorry.

As far as fishing is concerned I've been to Red Wing twice. 1st time skunked and 2nd time I got my first 16" smallie and a big ol carp. It's just nice to be on open water again.
