I originally was going to tie this on a jig head, but since it is heavy by it self I decided to tie it on a Fly hook. It is a Scud/Shrimp and I think it will be close enough to the fresh water shrimp to catch fish. I also am thinking during the spawn it just may be a real killer.
So what do you guys think? Also I thought about tying in some of my home made mono eyes I use on my Wasp, but didn't yet. Oh and it's a #8 hook.

The small inline jaw will handle from large to very small hooks... here is a linkQuote:

I love how you can spin this vise that can't be done with others. Look at the videos if you have not. Also Norm is a really nice guy.
You can just do so much more with this vise that I can't see using another any more. Sometimes I still pull out my Renzetti, but I also have the fine point conversion if I want a more regular vise for tails on jig, but I have got use to this and it's almost all I use. Dubbing is like you have never done it before and a joy.

ok skip that is sweet and yea i thing some eyes would be very nice on that
the one thing thats got me is i norm can look at something and see how its made but i just cant wrap my head around that one
hey skip is that scud body led or steel? i think i might paint it white to get alil bit of a bright color in it...but as aways looks great
Thanks, they are tungsten.Quote:

Most of the flies I have made were really small though. Size 12-16 so seeing one on a size 8 is huge. lol
About how long is the body straight across from tip to tip?
ok now i see how its done dam work has been kickin my brain lol

Yeah after I was done I wanted more Krystal Flash chenille under it too. I only ran it straight down the hook so if I just warp it one time down the hook it should be better.

all i know is it is better then i can do...i have played with a few flys but hate tying tiny hooks...tryed a 24-26 (very tiny) and got mad and throwed my fly table onto the floor so after that i gave up and ill stick to my jigs nothing smaller then a #8
I like it, but would like to see it in a smaller size, like a 10 or 12. Should work on crappie & gills.
Can we get a how to ?
I can tie it on any of the sizes you mentioned and I think this size will fit.Quote:

one of the easier things I ever tied.
Oh and I did use some Krystal Flash Chenille under and will add in more next time.

Very nice, I would like to see it bigger, great trout killer
That body is a big as they come as far as I know. I thought most trout fly fishermen used smaller hooks?Quote:

Only thing might be the size of the hook turning off fish from biting it but I doubt it.
Thanks and I will put some on smaller hooks like a #10 and #12 and that should made it so I can down size if need be.Quote:
