Decided to come up with a new color scheme for a "plus size baitfish fly", also decided to see how it looks when wet - I think the bass are going to like this one!

NP Panama! Thanks for the comments and advice. Whatever I can do to help anyone, you guys always help me out!

Check out the video showing the tying method I used and the video I used.

Thanks for the comments - this is how I tie my "rattle candies" - the hook point rides down, not up like a clouser would. - Cover shank with flash, holographic braid, etc - Tie in flash at hook bend - Reverse tie in supreme or ultra hair, leaving the cut end towards the eyes of the hook - Tie in rattle a tiny bit back from the hook eye (this will form head and body) - Take your synthetic hair and fold over rattle - now the body starts to come together -Wrap thread only around rattle and synthetic hair - Whip finish on the rattle, add eyes, and add clear cure goo to cover the rattle and create the body - in the water these look sweet so far!

J stockard is all I use now, put in 5 orders with them....nothing but the best!

Small minnow imitations for bass, blues and albacore

Searched the internet for a while to get some ideas regarding a nice large profile fly to imitate herring, bunkers, snappers etc - I wanted to tie a decent size fly with a small amount of materials which gave it nice swimming action and a nice 3d view - After re-searching woolhead sculpin, woolhead minnow, and other bunker/herring imitations, this is what i came up with, let me know what you think!

Clear Cure Goo Flies

Thanks to CCG and Carolina Fly aka T. Harvey for a great pattern! This is my variation of "Legs 4 Days Fly". Please google southern culture on the fly, search "legs for days fly" for these exciting new patterns by Carolina Fly Creator Thomas Harvey. Below are picture of my variation of the fly!

It does but not much really, I did that because it creates a "gurgling sound", as you probably know sometimes the fish dont like the big "bang" popping noise, so i tried to figure out a way to lower the sounds so I put estaz or even chenelle infront of the popper head, creates a cool affect, anyway it does and it works for me lol - try it right? it cant hurt - thanks for the nice comments!
