I use "yarn balls" too. Also had good luck on blue. I snell a hook on, and put my yarn right under the loop. I refuse to tie or buy glo bugs when I can make the equivalent while I am fishing in less than a minute. You can slide the loop back and change colors in a matter of seconds. I played the same game with the ghosts, and a lot of times, you had to put it right on their nose to get them to bite it. It's intense, and drives a guy nuts. I am interested in the prawn or candlefish patterns. Any idea where I can get ahold of these patterns. Thanks for the info.
