Baitfish patterns

It's a really cool technique and gets you a nice blunt head. They can also be tied with a typical epoxy head and still work great.

 

Purely as an option to the style is using thread wraps to lock down the fibers instead of glue. This gives the pattern a body yet the tail still moves from side to side.

 

Jeez....if I could tie like that....

 

Stonefish, there's no reason you can't. It isn't that difficult of a pattern to tie. IT'S BIG. And doesn't include clipping deer hair

Opps, I thought you were talking about the original pattern. My bad.

 

John Rohmer's Diamond Hair Minnow has similarities to one of my favorite baitfish patterns, Capt. Ray's Angel Hair Bay Anchovy.

I'll sometimes omit the 3D eyes and use a small brass bead instead.
