In the spring on the Arkansas, the right colors works really, really well!<br />Hopper Juanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309898376534780241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036878881620504256.post-44947590152157515492012-12-03T17:52:20.752-07:002012-12-03T17:52:20.752-07:00Great video and tie Juan. very neat and clean.

I find the sparkle of the braid and ice dub works well during spring runoff or after a rain fished close to banks or along bottom. Big fan of your blog and tying vids.

If possible, I will always use tungsten.
