Here's a fly I've been working on. It is tied on a long shank wide gap worm hook. It rides hook point up and is nearly 100% weedless and still has a great hook up ratio. It has the rubber kicker legs for movement along with a bit of silicone skirt for added movement and body mass. The rest is spun deer hair. I prefer using belly hair since it floats better. The fly is 4" long.
You can easily change out the spun deer hair for a foam popper head. I have some Rainy frog bodies and diver joom heads coming in the mail and will post some pics up once i get them in.
Hope yall enjoy the fly.
Nice tie...Looks like something the bucketmouths would just go ape-shit over.
ReplyDeleteThanks man! A big largemouth is exactly what I tied it for.

ReplyDeleteAwesome looking fly which would be a killer at daylight on any lake. I especially like the legs and the floatant body style. Thanks for sharing a great pattern
Wow, very nice Casey! Now I have something to use all those old worm hooks with.
ReplyDeleteThanks man, and thanks for the follow. I hope you enjoy the blog.
ReplyDeleteCasey, I love this fly--creative use of materials! I am looking forward to seeing the fish you catch with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julia!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled on this pattern in another site and worked my way over to your blog. This pattern is fricken awesome!! Do you have a step by step for it or a materials list? I'd love to tie some up to lay in wait until the summer rolls around. What weight rod do you toss these on? So fricken awesome... Thanks!
