Peeps...not just for Easter anymore!

I have finally thought of the perfect use for that package of Peeps that you have had in the pantry for well over a decade. Ball them up, about the size of your favorite bobber, then hunt up a rattle can of lacquer, and hose them down with liberal amounts of deadly spray. Next time you are short an indicator, simple pop on a Peeps bobber and fish on!

As you know, they come in several colors for differing light conditions. I like to get out the Sharpie and color them black. Like if you are BWO Peeps bobber fishin' in the fall and when the glare is so bad.

Yet another use is as an actual lure. Tie the Peep in as you would a tube fly or attach a blade for spinner like action. I have also tied the prop deal in front and had good luck during a Pike bite. Lunker Browns can rise to the Peep itself, and then the rodeo is on. Hold on to him for 8 seconds donning your pink, pearl buttoned, paisley embossed button down and consider it a victory. Twitch it near bank lines with a stinger hook hanging out the ass end for top water teeth rattlin' strikes. I have found that when Bass fishing the Peep, prep the chicklet with either a garlic or salt frog brine. Deadly.

My suggestion for the initial start up package is to steal your nephews carton when he is pogo sticking around the kitchen all hopped up on a killer sugar buzz...reminding you why you convinced the doctor to perform a vasectomy when you were only 23. Also, look for super deals on Peeps during the post Easter liquidation candy sale. Stock up for the year and don't forget about your fishing partners needs too.
