mybadhabit 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 It is either EP fibers, congo hair or super hair, it just depends on what place you get it from, Flytyersdungeon.com is the best price for the stuff online though, and it is great stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 Yep, Flytyersdungeon.com is a great place to get material like that! Check out Kanekalon too. It's used for women's hair extensions & wigs. Not expensive for the amount in a package, but look around for the best prices. I like it better than what's been mentioned but it's a little different too & all can be useful.

artimus001 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 it could be Congo Hair from the Dungeon. i highly recommend his stuff as well. best price anywhere for eyes ($.75 for 20), great fibers, and amazing flash substitutes. i think is the best bang for your buck anywhere on the net.

flytire 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2015 ^^BINGO^^ The Jerk Minnow is a baitfish pattern tied in the same style of an Enrico Puglisi Minnow. Instead of using EP Fibers I use Steve Farrar's Flash Blend. The SF Blend combines flash with fibers that are a little thicker and stiffer than EP Fibers. The large worm hook provides weight and gives this pattern an action very similar to a soft plastic jerkbait. My favorite colors for the Jerk Minnow are Peacock over White for a baby bass imitation, gray over white for a shad imitation, and all white. The hook used for the Jerk Minnow is D.O.A. Long Neck hook made by Eagle Claw. The neck is a little longer than a typical worm hook and gives a little more space to tie on. The hooks only come in two sizes 3.5/0 and 5/0 and I use both of them. the above is from the following blog found on pinterest http://blog.andythornal.com/blog/?Tag=Weedless%20Flies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2015 Just to add an alternative for the hook that flytire has mentioned, VMC also makes a similar hook with the longer front section & is available in sizes from 1/0 to 5/0 and in either red or black nickel finish. VMC 6319 http://www.rapala.com/vmc/hooks/bass/6319-xl-wide-gap-worm-hook/6319+XL+Wide+Gap+Worm+Hook.html I buy them from Jax Cat Tackle. They're $2.49 a pack. Quantities per pack vary depending on the size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
