Trying to figure out/steal/invent a pattern that I can bang into timber (like squarebill cranks) and not get hung up.

Curious about adapting the bristles on bass jigs that make that bait virtually weedless.

Any idea on a source for those stiff bristles?

Someone dig up the "Making flies more weedlesser" thread from right after last years pickerel trip! That had some really good info on the topic of weedless flies.
