Well I finally found cheap bass flies on Amazon that have a freakin weed guard. I'm guessing all the really cheap bass plugs & flies on here are probably made in freakin China & apparently they don't seem to understand the concept of needing a weed guard while fishing for bass, I mean we're talking bass environments, weed guard, duh. Anyway, these have it, plus they're deer hair & hoping will ride higher & better in the water than the cheap made in China plugs that seem 2 get water logged rather quickly. I'll find out soon, will update my review after I fish with these!
