Mike, I really like this one. I have only been tying for about a year and would really appreciate a material list. Maybe even a SBS if you have time.

Thanks,

another Mike.

I am glad you like it. I've been planning an SBS, but haven't had time to put it together.

The material list is short.

Thread: your choice of color. I used an off color to give it a "hot spot". I also used regular polyester sewing thread.

Body: craft foam. I have a large stack of foam letters from Walmart. Again, color is a matter of choice. To replicate the tree frogs that pepper this part of the country, I used medium green, yellow for the back and "sides" and white for the belly.

Legs: Congo hair from FlyTiersDungeon in light green.

 

Hook: Since I was hoping this would be a good bass bait ... and to make it as durable as possible, I used some salt water hooks I got on sale at Gander Mountain. I don't remember what size they are, but they are thick wire, and I believe they're a 2/0 long shaft.
