Sloppy Joe
Cheech . - November 2023
After tying and fishing the Sloptimus Prime (See video HERE), I wanted to create something a little simpler and smaller. This is still definitely on the larger side of baitfish, but its a step down from it's big brother. It has a very lightweight chassis, and can easily be thrown with a 7 or 8 weight rod all day. Best of all is that it uses minimal materials and it can be tied in hundreds of color combinations.
