salmobytes 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2021 Bass fishermen sometimes refer to lumps of soft plastic molded independently of any hook as Grub Baits. Does that make this one a Nymph Bait? It was tied on a waxed (ultra-thin) beading needle. And then attached to the hook after it was made. I'll have to make another one with a bead up front, on the hook but before the nymph is attached.

Lesg 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2021 If I was a fish that would look edible. As a fisherman I'd tie that on my line for any freshwater fish as a searching pattern. Nice tie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fisherboy0301 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2021 I like it a lot. The leggy characteristic you gave it with that hackle is great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philly 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2021 What you've tied is an extended body nymph, not sure I've seen one before. I've seen articulated nymphs. I tie extended body mayflies and use foam for the body. Interesting idea. Nice job on it. A bead on that short a hook might not leave enough room to tie in the legs and build a thorax. You might consider using a small bead as the thorax, pull the material over it and tie it down in front of the bead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it a bug you made up, or does it have a name or recipe? That sucker looks like it will fish and catch! Thanks for posting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salmobytes 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2021 No name. Just a bug I made up. A generic nymph. Tying nymphs on a needle, sliding them off the needle and then attaching to a hook (like the above) is growing on me. It's easier to tie on a needle (thin #10 beading needle) than trying to tie inside teh bend of a hook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
