    Things that go bump in the night

    After the sun goes down and the bats have woken up, when the sounds of passers by and traffic have faded out and the sounds of the night have settled in - I find myself, as I'm sure you do listening for evidence of fish moving. There's the thrash of a predator ploughing into unsuspecting fry...

    Hooks

    I know it's all been done before, but things change so I'm asking the question again.... I have been using the mugger pattern for a while now, but sometimes struggle to get the hair to hang right, particularly with smaller hair rigged baits. I made the switch to talon tips and these have...
