I went fishing the other day and caught one little 12" dink bass. Downer. I was hanging around the dock and talked to two groups of bait casters when they came off the water, asked them how they did, and all four men slayed the blacks on tiny torpedos. They all caught a lot of bass. So, I got to thinking: How can I create a balsa tiny torpdo-like fly i can cast? Well, I'm working on it; have nothing to report, but thought I might "fling the craving" on some of you bass fishermen. I'll send some pics once i've made a prototype that ill actually catch a fish and is light enough to cast on a bass rod. If anyone has a similar fly, how bout posting a pic. Our texas bass sometimes go thru a selection phase when they will hit topwater tail-spins and turn down chugger-type flies and lures. Schooling blacks also love torpedos. I bass fish with mainly 5,6, and 7 weight rods, so this will be a challenge-p-

yep; i've got a few of the old hula poppers but theyre too big and heavy for practical use; good idea about the free swinging hook; wished i knew where i could get some small double hooks, like they put on H&H spinners; that would work great with the hooks hanging freely in the rear, hook point up, behind the spinner blade. I think the secret to the TT is the "darting" effect when stripped along with the prop turning. Another old bait was the dalton special. Remember that one???; I caught 2 tow sacks full of bass on a green spotted frog pattern dalton special!!
