SBPatt 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2021 EH Softhackle Spundun Deer is a bit easier to work with, but I liked the coloration of this elk and it spins well enough. hook - Dai Riki 300 #10 thread - Uni 6/0 tan tail - elk hair body - Ice Dub hare’s ear collar/thorax - elk hair shoulder - sharptail grouse Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the goal tonight was to create a version to throw on the long rod (hence the "fl-opper" vs "plopper" nomenclature). Early testing shows a good commotion on a strong strip, and a lower buzz on a longer rod sweep. Might try to sneak out to a snook hotspot for a real world test. Interesting concept.Let us know what the fish think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SBPatt 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2021 TriUngulate Hairwing Dun II Switched the orientation on the deer hair from horizontal to vertical. Just dicking around (and it shows); the tail’s too short and skimpy but the overall effect is interesting. hook - Maruto 7989 #10 thread - Uni 6/0 camel tail - moose body body - deer hair (loop dubbed) hackle - grizzly wing - elk hair Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SBPatt 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2021 Michigan BiUngulate Spinner The elk I have doesn’t spin or flare as easily as deer hair but it has nice tips and color so it’s worth the hassle. Only brown hackle available was hen; oversized it for a Jingler-like effect. hook - Dai Riki 300 #10 thread - Uni 6/0 camel tail - moose body rib - tying thread body - elk hair wing - Congo Hair white hackle - grizzly/hen furnace (oversized by 2) Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
