Hootchie or flies?

[ducks517]

Still deep in my research and buying equipment. Looking at getting a bunch of flies to start up that part of my equipment. I keep coming across the Hootchie's. Do you guys use them at all. Most everything that I read on here is all about the trolling flies. The hootchies seem more economical but if they don't catch fish I am not going to waste my money. Just wanted the opinion of the masses.

Really? No opinion on this at all? HMMMMMM

I run both. Like any other lure, on some days one works a bit better than the other.... I'm old school, so it's dodger / squid (hoochie) or flasher / fly.... usually flashers off the wire, dodgers off the deep rigger. I start with one of each with a few spoons in the mix to try and get a feel for what the fish want.

Just my $.02

I use both, sometimes together... a big weenie fly over a squid was very good to me last fall.
