RBS Killer 64th oz Feather Jig
36 RBS , 1 P seed Wanaque River Started with a Hendrix "Rascal" on the Flyrod ;immediate hits but no takes. Tipping the "rascal" with small piece of worm got 4 Red Breasted Sunfish. Switched to spinning rod 2# test line and a 32nd Chartreuse Jig I tied /tipped with Twister Tail ,The bait got down to the fish quicker in the shallow pools and caught 7 RBS in short order . Switched to an untipped beaded beige nymph my brother tied; threw it with the flyrod ,nothing . Switched to spinning rod and scaled down to a 64th oz .feather black head jig I tied. This was killer and caught 25 RBS and one Pseed without being tipped . Very low water conditions and stained. A fine 90 minutes of wading/fishing from stream rocks .Great way to bring in October! A size 10 or 8 hook is perfect for these little beauties!

I agree ,except for stubborn Trout sometimes that wont move a inch to a bait . If the lure isn't travelling in the proper lane ,you cast your arm off with no fish to show for your efforts .

Fish in moving water tend to be reckless - if they don't get it, it gets away!

True David its catching well as of that day thought I might want to beef it up a hair for use in clearer water and discerning Trout and other fish .These RBS I catch are what I'd call reckless
