Tying Instructions

Wrap the thread from the front to the bend of the hook, tie in the tail about 1-1/2 times the length of the shank. Trim tail about 1 eye length behind the eye. Add dubbing and wrap a tapered body to the bend. Cut the foam into strips 1/8 – 3/16” width. Tie in the foam with about a shank length beyond the bend, wrap the thread forward to the dubbing start point and tie in the thorax, cut the foam 1/8” forward of the eye, whip finish a tapered head.

 

How to Fish

 

This pattern came from Nimrod via Jim Hatch. I have absolutely no idea what the name is. It does a number on Red Breasts, Stump Knockers and Bluegill.

I fish this close to the shoreline. After making a cast, I let it sit quietly for a moment of two, then give it a twitch. Do this a few times then cast again.
