niveker 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2023 Ken Edmonds' Stealth Bomber Hook - #6. Not sure of the brand, received in raffle in an unbranded bag at my fly tying club. Wire seems a bit light for the size, probably why they were given away - LoL. Thread - green mono-cord Tail - Olive bucktail over FTD Northern Flash Black Minnow over white bucktail Body - 2mm craft foam Underbody - FTD UV-x ET dubbing, yellow Legs - round yellow hit with a marker Not real happy with this, but no time to tie another. I don't usually tie them this big, usually on a #6 B-10s which is significantly smaller. A bit thicker foam would look better on a hook this size. Normally I would tie the legs shorter, just past the bend, but have seen some tied long like this and thought I would give it a go. Don't really like it, I can always snip them at the lake. I always leave out the underwing between the wing and the body on the original, I don't really see its purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
