Looks like a bonefish pattern I know of. 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 :P

i like that i think ill tie it with mirage 3d eyes instead because i have trouble casting weight

 

That would be good on a sink tip. 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.

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!

Or tie with large eyes and about 20 wraps of lead wire and fish it on a baitcaster :rolleyes:
