Pech, Floppy's are also a great trout lure, is the one you've got an old rubber bodied one or the "newer" hard body?

Hi Blinky,

The floppy that I have is a hard one, not the soft one.
They are very interesting lures. The hooks on them are doubles not treble, a bit like on the shimano waxwings but smaller.

Have a good day,
Pecheur

I have quite a few rubber floppy's which would well over 30 years old, sorry mate, I'm not parting with any of them. They are a french lure you know..........

The great thing about floppys is that you can get them into places you wouldn't dream of trying with the hard bodies.

The blue Rapala was a legendary lure. We used to troll them in the Finness when old man Sweetheart has still kicking, although I was younger then.

I remember the barra we had caught in the bottom of the 12 footer.

Rum.

You must have been out in the finness with my old man he tells storeys of fishing in a canadian canoe and seeing a bow wave coming down the river from old sweat heart back in the early 70s

And you should not! They are very nice lures from the past.
And yes I know that they are French...
Typical of the French to do something called a floppy...
:wink:

Not long ago I saw a photo of an absolute replica of of a floppy, made of wood.
A guy who liked them so much that he caved one...

I would have filled the canoe with bad smell...
:shock:

Have a good day,
Pecheur

Ponyplay, lucky you picked up on your comment and clarified it. Otherwise who knows how many door knockers you would have got, all to go "fishing" with you.

Looking forward to some more NW WA posts from you this year.

Cheers,
