Tying Instructions: Use a short shank hook for the front/body hook. and secure the stinger with zap-a-gap once tied in. You can sub in metal beads for the plastic on the stinger.
Presentation Tips: Great for short striking trout. I like to use a full sink line while using it. Interchanging colors make this pattern more versitile.
