-UV Yarn Balls do work-

Postby hollywood on Tue Oct 12, 2010 8:56 pm

Daniel and I went out today to do some product testing. We have been so busy with salmon that we have not got out to play with summers for months! What a great opportunity to fish some UV yarn balls for summers. We ended up hooking 6 fish today and only one made it to the bank. We have got a lot of good feedback from those who have been fishing this new yarn but it felt good to get out and fish it ourselves. Up until today we never fished yarn balls under a float, well I can report that it works great! ;)

The most surprising fish of the day was the 20 lb springer that decided it wanted my cerise and white yarn ball under a float. I fought it for 10 minutes probably before it came off but it was cool to fool one especially this time of year. Here is me trying to land a chinook on 6 lb.

Image

Here is the one fish we got to the bank. Daniel gets an assist on it becuase he could see the fish move over a foot to pick up the yarn ball. I did not even feel it but he was like, it ate it, so I pulled up. \M/

Image

This one fell for a hot pink-cream sickle yarn ball. :D

Nice to add another trick to the arsenal of float fishing! Good luck out there.

Don't worry Mike. I'll have plenty of RGB at the Rogue Gathering that i'll be happy to share with you.
Only thing you have to do is slip that banana UV yarn into Ragnars boat when he aint lookin. :ymsmug:

Why do I feel like the Indians are circling the wagons. :-? You guys just had to send some yarn to Grants Pass didn't you. :ymdevil:

Barry, I will make sure it gets in Ragnars boat. We've got to do something to slow him down. The man is a fish
catching machine. Not that I would do anything under handed, :^o but I have been known to cross the border from time to time. :D
