Rattling Crease Fly

[NikRose 0]

If you keep the mouth open, it is a great popper. It catches lots of air. It is probably why it is such a good saltwater pattern for stripers in the northeast. For some reason in this version, the rattle is seems to have been amplified by the body, which is coated by two coats of Loon's Hard Head. You can't tell by the photograph, but the Loon's Hard Head leaves a very shiny "wet" looking surface.

 

I don't understand the dressing of the last weedguard. Can you help me with tutorial?

 

excuse for my little english,

I'm tying up a bunch for a Kayak trip next weekend down in Everglades national Park. I'm hoping for some snook, jacks, ladyfish, or anything else that might be around

 

Yesterday the fly was awesome with the largemouth!

 

NikRose - Here is another weedguard picture minus the "fly". Hope this helps.

 

 

Sniksoh - the body is held together with superglue, and a quick coat of Loon's Hard Head, epoxy or your choice of head cement. When the fish are feeding the flies get beat up pretty quick no matter what you use for the top coat.
