TheCream 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2011 One of my favorites, I did this video on it: Once you tie this thing a few times, it really is quick and easy. I went slow for the video. This pattern in an all craw orange color, craw orange/black, black/blue, and white/chartreuse are bass killers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 Seaducer streamers. Saddle hackle tails, some flash in the tail. Barbell eyes & without, cactus chennile or estaz body with hackle rib. I usually counter wrap a wire rib to help protect the hackle. Works for LM & SM bass, and many other species. Dark & light colors & combinations. I always have some in my bass & saltwater fly boxes! I tie them on saltwater hooks & straight shank worm hooks. 1/0 or 2/0, 5-6 inches long is a good size for Smallmouths. Old pattern & fairly simple, but has stayed around because it works!
