At the vise

Flure box
Ever since Chris led me to the "dark side" I've been devouring everything I can find concerning ultralight spin fishing. Notable finds were Erne St. Clare's 'The Modern Science of Spin Fishing' and Joe Robinson's 'Piscatorial Absurdities'. Joe's book led me to try tying jig hook "flures". Chris's Cultiva JH 85 jig hooks are perfect for this pursuit. Further inspiration came from two of the most popular Tenkara flies ever, the Keeper Kebari and the Killer Bugger. I also added a soft bait to my latest Triple Threat flure box. My hackle skills are grossly substandard but I doubt the fish will care much.

Warning:
The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.
Seriously, all the hooks sold on Finesse-Fishing.com, whether packaged as loose hooks or attached to lures, are dangerously sharp. Some have barbs, which make removal from skin, eyes or clothing difficult. Wear eye protection. Wear a broad-brimmed hat. If you fish with or around children, bend down all hook barbs and make sure the children wear eye protection and broad-brimmed hats. Be aware of your back cast so no one gets hooked.
Also, all the rods sold on Finesse-Fishing.com will conduct electricity. Do not, under any circumstances, fish during a thunder storm. Consider any fishing rod to be a lightning rod! Fishing rods can and do get hit by lightning!
Whatever you do, do it with finesse!
