Grass shrimp just for Micropterus salmoides

[fish_4_all]

Well I found the right colors and gave it a shot to tie one for you. I think it can be improved on with a bigger hook and larger profile but it might work to fool a fish into thinking it was a grass shrimp.




The pictures are close but show them slightly darker than they are. In sunlight I think they will be very light and look very clear.

That is crazy....
Immaculate. Real talent.
Seriously, that'd tear em up here in many of my spots.
Great work, bro. Will have to learn that style one day.

wow is that a weave or a plastic body that is added and tied on

how ever it is done it looks great, would work great in a two tone green to look like a catipillar

very nice sir

The under body is a spaghetti bead. The over body is Larva Lace.

Here are the instructions: http://www.acc.umu.se/~widmark/fly/lwcroche.html

Takes some work to make it come out right, took me about 200 ties to really get the body to become consistent. Is my fun tie and as many have pointed out, no one else ties this way so is really nice to have a unique thing in the jig and fly world.

TOATALY AWSOME!!! That is a dinner bell ringing and will slap any fish in the face! I LIKE IT!!
I am currently trying to get a small jar full to get as close as i can to the local grass shrimp to tye one and then make another and spray this stuff called UV blast on it from Bass Pro to see the differance in the water .

Gook Lookers for sure!

They are heavy enough, and big enough to be used as light jigs. Not sure they would cast on light fly poles, would definitely have to duck.
