Chefben4 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 Here is a link for a new step by step on my blog I developed for Pike/Musky. Hopefully its easy enough to follow. If not, dont be shy ask away. Its a 7" fly tied on a 5/0 Mustad 34007. http://wishinyouwerefishin.blogspot.com/2013/03/about-time-for-another-sbs.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pike2002 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 Really nice fly , That will works well without any doubt. The tree first models with feathers sould be call parrot 's pike fly. The last one could be call '' black cat '' what is the material use to form the head of the fly and how do you shape this head??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chefben4 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 If you look at the step by step on my blog it shows how its done. The reverse bucktail body creates a great "backer" to begin building the head. I use several different materials depending on what I have and in what color. The top 3 flies are sculpin wool and laser dub heads. With the wool I cut a 1.5" piece then pulled apart many times until it is broken up, then tied on around the shank and reversed up. After that I rolled pieces of laser dub, tied around the shank, reversed up, then brushed out. The bottom fly is the one the SBS is based on. Instead of sculpin wool I used arctic fox.

Sweet flies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chefben4 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2013 The profile is quite similar to a wedding veil now that I look at it. A cool thing about this fly is that on sinking line it sinks (obviously) but when you aren't stripping it slowly will float up. Very sweet action Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
