Anyways, nice tie! Do I see some sort of gill material in there? It's a little bit of SLF Steelhead dubbing. Fiery Red. It's a nice gill color. And it hides my bad tying/overuse of thread wraps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd tie it on a jig hook or a 45 degree angle hook to keep it upright and point up if you are you going to swap out the eyes. That big old hunk of rabbit on top will get heavy and try to flip the hook over without enough weight on the bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
day5 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2009 If casting weighted flies is an issue try a bigger wt rod. Weighted flies should not be an issue with the right rod. Someday I will make it to sugar creek! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someday I will make it to sugar creek! Or tie with large eyes and about 20 wraps of lead wire and fish it on a baitcaster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
