Recently I was in Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods and noticed a packaged set of 3 drift rigs made from a corky, yarn, and the smallest Thin Fin in half chrome and half pink color combo atop the corky. They looked good so I paid the premium for some pre-tied gear to try that day. I used it in a few drifts with no luck, but it was a slow day on the river; and I haven't had a chance to try them again. I have used the larger ones atop a bead ahead of sandshrimp or prawns to backtroll with some success; but not for drift fishing. ...

I observed in shallow clear water they tumble and turn a bit on the straight drift, and they really come alive on the swing (and I would think during backbouncing too) - almost making a buzzing vibration felt up thru the rod. Seems like it would work well in a variety of water conditions. To save me some time, would any of you guys that have tried this let us know how they worked for you. Thanks much.
