nyFLYguy05 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2012 Reviewed a pattern by Capt Chris Newsome - The Blasphemy. Chris - Thanks for an awesome pattern idea! Took this idea and devloped a fully flexible Threadfin Shad. This is my first try and I am pretty happy with the results. The CCG Flexible lets the body become very flex oriented which creates pretty nice swimming action and also for dead drifts. Going to create more with gills, inner "guts", and other flash effects. These pictures are a 3 inch Threadfin Glass Shad The head is made with CCG Thick then then entire body is CCG flex. Going to create other small baitfish with this pattern as well.

Peterjay 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2012 That's dead on Joe. One thing I noticed when I was doing a lot of skin diving was that baitfish were pretty much invisible except for the eyes. BTW: for anyone unfamiliar with Chris Newsome's tying, check it out. IMO, he's one of the very best. http://www.bayflyfishing.com/flytying.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyFLYguy05 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2012 Thank you guys very much! I am picking up some coloring for it tomorrow and tomorrow night will be messing around with the fly! It is not hard at all, just a little tricky. Check out peterjays website he listed, it shows step by step, The head of the fly is CCG thick and the body is CCG flexible. Tomorrow I am going to try to add gills, coloring, scaled, ect. I created molds for spearing, peanut bunker and sandeels - so we will see. If i can get these right they may be a nice fly (extra weapon) (some people want to kill me for calling this a fly lol) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
