tmatt26 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2010 Forgot I had tied this one, have had success with it this summer. It does wobble back and forth while diving underwater and on the pause it will float up to the surface. Just don't make the legs too long because they will get caught in the hook gap. What do you all think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Legg 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2010 While it's under, it should resemble a fleeing crayfish just a little bit on the retrieve. It's visibility should bring some attention from a ways out. Going after bass? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I tie in the lip and wrap it to the front, then wrap back to where i tie off the foam. Double over the foam to form the head and wrap down in the same spot you tied off the foam the first time. Then it's up to you if you want to add the white indicator. Whip finish and cement. If you want I could do a step by step, it'll just take me a few days due to my work schedule.

smokinprice 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2010 Nice fly. Reminds me of the predator but I am guessing the foam in the front doubled over is what causes it to sink? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
