Wow.Nice.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using Crappie.com Fishing mobile app
Very nice.:highfive
Only thing that would make them look better is to see them hanging out of a fish's mouth. lol
Thanks guy's.
Looks like a fly with a lead head, looks good!

Nice work!
Thanks skip.It was a fly i seen tied on a youtube video.Crappie love minnows so i thought why not tie one on a jig.Quote:

Shame you can see some of these as I can't grab the photos out of that I don't think.Quote:

I did tie some before this, just didn't have that antenna!

Forgot to say this was one of the few ways I found to use the Biot's back then.

Looks Good :ThumbsUp
Gave this tie a go myself, never tried it yet, should give good results
after a few ties had to use glove or finger protectors on that UV cement
a bit on the sticky side
billygee :rolleyes:
I was able to pull a picture off that email and they have these in a lot of colors and some a little different too!
I do think spring time and maybe fall is they get shallow enough one could catch a boat load off of things like these and yours!

I used a toothpick to drop it in place so kinda avoided the mess.It dries sticky too.
I like those skip.They used a different type synthetic fur than i did and gives them more body and the red markers look good.They have some flash in with the hair too.Quote:

I agree that spring and fall would be great for these especially fishing around the stumps and trees.
Cool looking wasp too.
