Hard to believe it has been a year since I started up the Wooly Bugger challenge. I'd like to get this kick started again, anybody tie any new bugger variations in the past year? As we did last time if you post a bugger variation in this thread by the end of the month you will be entered into a random drawing. Don't know what the prize will be yet but I'll dig something good up.

Hook: Daiichi 2220 Size 8

Bead: Hareline 5/32 Tungsten Rainbow

Thread: Purple 6/0 Uni

Tail: Black & Purple Marabou

Flash: Black Mirage Flashabou

Body: Black Medium Chenile

Hackle: Purple Saddle Hackle

 

I have many variations on this one, with my next favorite being a white/chartreuse with a gold bead. When I use the rainbow bead I rotate the color that I use in the tail on top(more aesthetically pleasing for me). The combinations are endless, but mine all get the flash tied in as a lateral line. Also have a brown/orange one that looks pretty sweet.

I'm thinking with the 1/2 collar behind the bead it should push some water. The next one will have a collar all the way around the bead head..

This is called Bruce's Krystal Bugger.

It is marabou ,krystal chenille ,and nickle Eyes.If you want a better look at one type in "Bruce's Krystal Bugger"In a search engine and you can't miss it.Bruce claims he has caught over 50 different species on this bugger.My hope is that it will produce for small mouth bass next spring.
