Anyone done this, just for the excitement of the fight and the practice of course.
I haven't tried it on the flyrod but have been told it's fun. But I have used spinning tackle to catch gar in the Saluda between Lake Greenwood and Ware Shoals with this technique.
Unless you bust a rod the tackle is very inexpensive. Just cut 3-4" strips (tubes) from a pair of panty hose and lightly spray paint them silver. Just enough paint to make them shine but not make them stiff.
Cast in front of the gar (sight fishing) and strip the line real fast. The gar will give chase and strike the "fly" (panty hose) which will tangle up in it's teeth and the fight is on!
Carry a sharp knife or scissors to cut the panty hose out of it's teeth. No need to let it die from the tangle.
Using spinning tackle we put a piece of egg lead in the strip of panty hose and tied it off with the line. Creating a sort of "head" to the lure and giving it enough weight to cast.
Again this is not meat fishing, it's just to practice casting and fighting the fish. it's all for fun, sort of like fly fishing for carp, for which I was at first admonished here until someone else tried it!
