Fly rodders answer to a jig and pig! Unique hook design....basically a 90 degree bend in the front of the hook, along with a conehead is going to give this fly an incredible jigging action. Marabou, Rabbit Strip, some holo flash and grizzly rubber legs combine to make this one of the most promising sub-surface bass flies in a long time if you can get over the name. Size 1/0 hooks in crawdad and olive colors.

This might be a stupid question -- but what difference would the 90 degree bend at the hook eye make in the fly's action? Adams

[Alex C. 0]

It causes the fly to ride hook point up, it's also gonna give it a jigging action

[Adams 0]

Hook point up I undertand, but jigging action? How does the 90 degree bend make any difference in action?

THey also sell these in Cablelas. If you have the 2006 edition, or just go online, you can look at it and figure out what to use if you can't find the eactual recipe.

Has anybody cast these, they look like they are gonna want to spin in flight?

The 90 doesn't give it the jigging action, it just allows it to ride hook up, which when coupled with the position of the conehead causes it to fish the same as a clouser.

 

Did that make sense? :dunno:
