Tie a cruncher and whip booby eyes on it.

Ray........you worry too much mate......
Hackle or no hackle...its up to you, it probably wont be a huge issue to the fish either way.Tie it up to your own tastes and check out whether the fish like it or not.

As Jimmy says the fish probably wont mind just personal choice really.

The latest from the Rutland competition boys is the "Cruncher Booby Hopper" exactly the same as the one in the photo but with a set of hopper legs....
I guess they'll stick booby eyes on everything now, watch out for the Booby Daiwl Bach, the Booby Kate Mclaren etc etc...coming soon to a competitors box near you!

Cheers
