Whitner 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2012 Getting ready for a little Fall/Winter shrimp run. With all of the fancy shrimp replica patterns, you still can't beat an ole fashion pattern like a bendback for redfish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ditz 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2012 I like it too. Bendback shrimp is a great idea. Some long mono eyes on each side would really make it stand out. Thanks for posting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCOwens 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 The large pink head is that just thread built up or did you use an epoxy of some sorts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whitner 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 It's thread with a thin coat of two part epoxy. I like the way epoxy smooths out and looks when it's dry. I have started doing this on all my bendbacks. It looks even better with eyes underneath the epoxy on baitfish patterns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ironmachin 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 Great looking fly. I'd imagine the surf critters around here would eat one of those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
