Similar to a craft fur shrimp Another baitfish Wool-Headed Baitfish (icelandic sheep tail) Purple random bunny fly Another shrimpy creature EP Pinfish (size 1/0) EP Everglades Special ( my current favorite fly. These range from size 2 up to 2/0) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chefben4 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Ben you do such nice work....Is the deer hair crab a floater or is it weighted? Thank you sir! Its weighted. If you look really close by the right mono eye you can barely make out the small dumbell weight. Whitner posted the pattern in the "need a crab fly" post thats been kicking around.

Panama Red 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Ben I think you have the whole spinning material thing down to an art! That mullet and wool baitfish are shweet. What's up with the purple deer hair, I really like the way it seems to glow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chefben4 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 Ben I think you have the whole spinning material thing down to an art! That mullet and wool baitfish are shweet. What's up with the purple deer hair, I really like the way it seems to glow. Haha thanks. Im gonna tie up a few more of the mullet fly. I have a feeling I might want a couple of those. If I need fast sinking, that wool headed one should work out pretty good. The purple? It was special stuff you inhaled that made it have that glow. Maybe the same stuff PJ took that one night he did that one thing while in Daytona. Remember that?? I think its the way the camera picks it up under the ottlite. Although its some bright ass stuff I picked up at Orifice (orvis) a couple years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
