Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

All tied in Bullys Bluegill Spider fashion.
They sink, butt first and backwards. Bluegill follow, as a rule, and when the fly falls back towards them... BAM!

Rex,
Thank you. I selected the Bully Spider for two reasons:

proven record
simple tie, simple materials.

It's nice to hear from a user. You will note I didn't follow the rules, because
I'm waiting for the proper hooks to be delivered. So I used what I had.

John,
they are all tied with lead wire that weighs the rear, so it drifts back
and down.

Bullys make my top five list.  A chartreuse/black body with chartreuse/black barred legs is KILLER in my fishing holes.  No doubt those will catch fish!

Go get em David ! They look good .What Materials and style/size  hooks you using ?The chartreuse bug looks like a thick wire hook .Does that one sink fast? I like the black/white legs ! You got names for them ?

They all look good, David. I especially like the chartruse one. I bet you catch some good ones on all them!
