Cuck/Joe: Here's a Sneaky Pete tied on a Size 30 Mustad 3777. _http://www.flytyingforum.com/uploads/thumb_gallery45aee15abc790.jpg_ (http://www.flytyingforum.com/uploads/thumb_gallery45aee15abc790.jpg) This is the one I mentioned in my post. Here's one tied on a size 34 Mustad 3777. You can see the hook better in this one. _http://www.flytyingforum.com/uploads/thumb_gallery45aee266573be.jpg_ (http://www.flytyingforum.com/uploads/thumb_gallery45aee266573be.jpg) I think the hook is sold mainly in Europe as a live bait hook.

But, now I want to catch some big fish as well, so I am trying some of the bass flies..Now, the last two years, i caught an occasional largemouth on my bluegill flies... But, can you tie flies that will catch both equally (or nearly equally) as well??? Or, , for example.. i tied most of my flies on size 10-16 hooks.. And, the bass flies are tied mostly on size 6 and bigger... So, could I tie a bass bug, or clouser minnow , etc ect, in a size that is in between the 6 and the 10 and catch both???? I guess you could say I want to "have my cake and eat it too" LOL..Oh, and if so, which are some good patterns??? Thanks, Chuck Chuck: I use a Sneaky Pete style slider that catches both bass and sunfish. It's tied on a size 30 Mustad 3777. The only Mustad I've ever used that's sharp right out of the box. Now don't let the size throw you off. I just checked and it's close to a size 4. The fly itself is about 2 inches long with legs and tail and works equally well in catching the bluegill, green, pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth and largemouth in the local creek I fish. I tie in Flo Yellow, White, Black and Fire Tiger and Orange Tiger with the Flo Yellow the most effective. Jerry C "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."
