Attached is photo showing actual scale compared to a quarter.

I didn’t have an earthworm handy to photo for scale , but remember ewest saying he preferred a tube jig – I choose a “spider” fly tied on this size jig.

Cast them on UL, fly rod, or dabble them on the end of a cane pole - they work... \:\)
