Or you can learn to tie flies.. pretty relaxing and fun..
takes 2-3 minutes to tie a fly..

I collect all the feathers I see on the ground whenever I walk in the woods..

I also have been tying flies on weedless hooks as well as weedless treble hooks.. for bass. i usually use 1X or 0X tippet for bass
