Nah, never tipped a fly with any bait nor sprayed or dipped the fly in any scent either but, should someone want to do that, that's fine with me.

Fly fishing is the sex, and throwing a topwater is the masturbation....both are good....but its just a little harder to admit throwing the topwater.

And when I aint getting any, I always have a good backup that does the trick well!

Snookfinatic, here's fly fishing version of the beetle spin. We left the spinner off of this one.

What has this world come to?
Whatever catches fish I guess.

I had an old school flyfisherman from out West make fun of me just for throwing woolybuggers in a stream in Montana. He was born flyfishing throwing dry flies and when I schooled his a$$ in his home waters he opened his eyes a bit.

Brown wooly buggers with an estaz body work. I had problems with the hackle breaking though. I even tried the gold wire trick. Just using Estaz works well too.

You can "tie" gummy minnows. They sell materials for it. Don't ask me how. I refuse...

From the web site http://www.saltwaterflies.com

This has got to be one of the craziest flies that we've ever seen! Blane Chocklett's Gummy Minnow is truly innovative. Made from a new soft, reflective material called "Sili Skin", this fly looks and feels like a real baitfish! This fly has produced some great catches for anglers targeting bonito / false albacore, and we have no doubt that stripers, snook, and more are really going to chew on the Gummy Minnow! We recently had a report that this fly absolutely slays the tarpon and bonefish in Los Roques - if you're going to Los Roques, you'll want a big handful of these!.
