Have been cleaning out some old tackle box's & found a few of those thingamajiggys in the pic.

Dont really know what they are & assuming they're some sort of salt water fly anybody uded or knows about them thingy's ??

kkw
Hey!!! I have some of those thingamajiggys as well. Saw Adventure Bound the other night, and the guy was hanging a half a pillie off one which looked very much like these ones. Snapper attractor or some such nonsense biggrin.gif Don't ask me what the string bit is for.

So do you reckon there's some SOAP on the end of the string ?? laugh.gif laugh.gif

So your saying that they are just an attracter & not a fly ???

to me that look like freshwater fly's

but then again ive never been freshwater fishing

Benny I said saltwater fly only because of the heavy gauge & size of the hooks

The guy on Adventure Bound called them 'Snapper Snatchers' KKW, can't say I've ever heard of them other than on that show but I have seen a few snapping snatches if that helps. laugh.gif

JG They are a crude form of what are known as Snapper Snatchers, they usually have pretty feathers and tinsil with beads above the hook ( similar to an old whiting rig ) .
They are the latest you beaut can't live without thingie south of the border. The bloody silly mexicans are going crazy over the spupid bloody things.
You are just not in with a chance these days if you don't use the latest and greatest Snapper Snatchers.
Had any Mexicans playing with your tackle box lately.

Wonder how we been catching them for the past 45 years, and thats just me.

Mate no good to be laid up with a crook back. Mine is starting to allow me to do certain things, but bending over grinding or welding kills me after about 5 minutes, It's taken me 2 months to make a frame ( s/steel ) for a double seat for a c/console.
The poor bloody owner is very patient with me, I would be telling me to give the bloody thing back and take it somewhere else for finishing.

Doesn't help me, Ed, but knowing the places you frequent, it doesn't surprise me, what you have seen laugh.gif You western suburbs boys dance to a different tune to us folks who live in 'The Shire".

Want me to make some sandwiches and bring them over for you? Told you not to skull drag that flattie on Sunday. It has wrecked your back and strained those poor widdle muscles. Do you like cheese? Vegemite? Done deal.

I agree with mully 100%, they're jig assist hooks. With a bit of tinsel for extra attraction.
