Screw that, my flies are meant for catching fish! Go fish that puppy, or tie your own! ;)

Front shank- Gamakatsu B10 Stinger hook cut off @ the bend
Stinger hook- VMC 2/0
Mono Trailing loop 25 lb. test maxima
Spaey marabou of your choice
Jumbo Guinea of your choice
Krystal Flash of your choice


The hardest part about making one of these flies is determining the right length for the mono loop. The loop is great not only because it rides at the rear of the fly, but if the hook dulls out or gets damaged you can swap it out for a new one. After figuring it out I made a mark on my vise so I'd know exactly where it should be. Spin the marabou so the wraps are closely together, this will create a fuller look to the fly. Extremely easy to tie once you get the hang of it!
