Swamp Fly 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2018 Cream, you certainly have my attention! Have you fished it? Does it keel right side up? I'm assuming (and you know what they say about that) it is an articulated pattern? Inquiring minds.... Water is starting to drop her in South Florida and I'm getting real twitchy!

Tom Cummings 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2018 GP here is most of materials. Thin skin is 1/4 inch and tapered after first 3rd of hook. Use lead wraps from that point tan thread also for better eyes use stretch craft cord from Walmart. Will provide pics on it as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Cummings 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2018 I will do a proper post with pics latter but essential is tail is mated 2 pheasant necks. Thin skin to match the color your trying for. In previous post that was my golden version. The crawdad orange uses different dubbing skin and zonker strips but same recipe which I put together from many patterns. Also tie in mandibles on top side hook antenna on opposing side of hook with dubbing ball to spay both then thin skin then eyes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know size 10 isn't small to a lot of you, but to me they are. I can see hour upon hour 2 inch Bluegill and Spotted Sunfish !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
