No, I haven't wanted to pay the price, either
There has to be something out there. I bit the bullet and bought a couple of colors, but I wasted an entire sheet of the pearl because it wouldn't peel off the backing without stretching completely out of recognition. The green and blue worked fine ! I like the "flies", but it's too expensive to play with. I also wonder about the durability of the "Gummy Minnow". I think they'd be a "One fly, One fish " on Reds or Specks. Maybe you'd get a couple of Bass on one before it was torn up. It's a great idea. It's a flyfish " Sluggo" which is one of the best Bass lures ever made. Maybe when the novelty wears off, the material price will get more realistic. BTW. I tie my Hula Poppers with stacked deer hair. Faster, prettier and cheaper that foam or balsa!!!!!
