Tsunami really has put in alot of effort in their products & the Forged 10 looks great. I will use it next week at the Channel Islands, then April 1 in Morro Bay, then maybe send it home with Alan for a proper review.

Hooks came in today, I got the mold a couple days ago, but not enough time to make jig heads tonite.

So I made shrimp flies instead... 8/0 mustad. 60lb leader check that I could still fit the mono thru the eye!

Thanks to everyone for sharing the knowledge, I wouldn't have made these without all your support and sharing of information.

Then I remembered that I had some left over fly tying materials from another project. So then I got fancy...

And got them "cat approved".

Rogan, only those willing to put in enough preparation time will compete for the golden carp award. You are on the right path.

I don't fish shrimp flies but I always prefer a darker color jig..... Black, purple, dark red, motor oil etc.... Or bright pink!

I know I've read about it before, but I can't remember...what is the "Golden Carp" award for again?
