In a recent STS magazine I saw an article about using rubber worms on a fly rod. I did not realize they are popular with the traditional gear guys and pink rubber worms are very effective on steelhead - especially the paddle tails. Well the article indicated that he has been using them to cast on a fly rod. He ties in a heavy mono barb on the hook shank to keep the worm in place and says steelhead just hammer them!
Anyone try this or would you ever consider using them? I realize that they would not be legal on some waters that are restricted to fly fishing. Would sure hate to have my buddies take a photo of me with one dangling off the end of my leader on my favorite spey rod :hihi:
