SBPatt 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2016 Found this on a South African site; kind of like a Jingler in a horizontal orientation. Per the article, "the wider hen hackle adds an extra trigger for the fish as it creates lots of movement and creates a nice profile on the water." Don't know whether that's true or not; I just thought they were cool looking. Change color/size (this one's not an Ansel Adams version; these are actually color shots) to suit your needs. hook - Dai Riki 320 #12 thread - Danville 6/0 grey tail - grizzly hackle fibers abdomen - biot grey wing - Congo Hair white thorax - muskrat hackle - grizzly (oversize by 1), Indian hen mash barb, start thread; wrap to point above barb and create a thread bump measure (shank length) some grizzly fibers; tie in tight against the bump to set proper angle moisten biot, tie in notch side down for the ribbed effect (reverse if you want a smooth body); wrap forward , tie off/trim at 3/4 mark tie in a hank of CH; post up, brush with Sally tie in grizzly hackle (shiny side out) prep hen hackle; tie in (dull side out) dub thread/dub thorax; finish with thread at base of post pull hen hackle to horizontal, take a wrap of grizzly above then succeeding wraps down the post to the base; tie off with a couple wraps at the base, trim hackle tip wrap hen hackle thru the grizzly; tie off at the base, trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN trim wing Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
