Crackleback 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2014 Looking good guys. Is that the Brian Wise version of the Hog Snare with the craft fur wings? -Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2014 I used the video of Rich Strolis. Each segment has 2 different marabous, ice dub, schappen craft hair, then the very front with lazer dub and craft hair. He used rubber legs on stage 1 and 2 but I ended up using it on all three on a couple, couple just on 1 and 2, mostly because I forgot on a couple. I tied one of these in a slightly smaller size for a different swap and when you throw it you want to be able to sidearm it some and I wouldn't want to sit to my right. I found before you throw it if you give it a whip close to you it tosses a lot of water off, then go deeper. It works fairly shallow since I used aluminum eyes and tho I've never been to where I could throw it at large trout the bass like it and might just bring out some bigger ones.

Crackleback 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2014 So it is the Brian Wise version. Rich Strolis uses arctic fox on the original. I've tied and fished it both ways and they fish more or less the exact same. I kind of prefer the craft fur version because it's easier to work with. Half the fox at the fly shop usually seems too short. Here's Rich tying the original. http://vimeo.com/34414042 -Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
