- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ธ.ค. 2024
- This fly is great for mimicking peanut bunker fish or herring for saltwater fly fishing, and can mimic shad or shiner in freshwater. Tied in the high back style both over and under the hook, and with lots of flash for a tail. This fly really attracts the fish.
Hook:
Gamakatsu SC15 size 1/0
Body:
Super Fiber (royal blue & white) (blood red for gill, and hot pink for under belly)
Flash:
Krystal Flash (blue)
epoxy:
Solarez UV Curing Epoxy "hard thin formula"
Great streamer, well filmed and right on time. Congrats bro.
👍
A trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Noe Caden yea, I have been using Flixzone} for months myself =)
Very nice Sonic partern !! Congrats for the vid !
Congrats!!! Haha!
I use the blue and white ,however I add a green flash and a sunburst color to the throat ,and green mixed with the blue fuzzies fiber,
Every bass ,bluegill, crappie and catfish slam them ,
Cool! Yeah this was for salt water but for fresh absolutely other colors could be cool
The best flie!
+Renato Castello Thanks man! Yeah I like this fly also. It does really well, and when tied with such a good hook, your gonna have a good hookup ratio. Fun fly to tie, and fun to fish.
Excellent job with the video!!!
Thank you Michael. It’s one of my early ones, when I was filming with my phone. Lol.
This fly will not sink with so much material. You can wrap some .020 or .025 Lead around the hook at the bend . Test it and if you are happy coat the lead with uv resin to secure it.
It does sink, just need to strip it a few times the first cast to soak the materials. Once it’s soaked it will sink. Yes you can add lead if you want as well. Will give it a faster sink. Thanks for the tips. Check out some of my newer tying videos. This was one of my first. Lower quality. I’ve gotten better at tying also in the past 7 years.
Nice fly! Thanks for the share!!! Subscribed! What is the exact name of the fiber you are using? I tie a similar fly with craft fur and it works but you don't get much of it and it can be costly, also tried the Enrico Puglisi fiber but it is expensive too. Thanks!
He uses super fiber
Yep, thanks! I forgot to put my response on here. He had private messaged me with the question as well, I answered it there, but forgot to on here. Thanks man! :)
“Super Fiber”? can’t find it anywhere, on any search or any site.
Can you please provide me the exact name and information plus hopefully a link on where to find this material?
Thank you
Use Congo hair from fly tiers dungeon.
So if you add to much fiber they won’t sink ?
no, just will take longer for them to get waterlogged and then sink.
What uv glue do you use?
The Uv resin is called solarez thin hard formula.
Let me know if there are any flies you want me to tie.
Do you know how to tie what orvis has named the "Montauk Monster"?
best place to buy materials? ozark/gizzard shad streamers!
+Maclean Kelly I go to fly Tyler's dungeon... great prices on synthetics. There are many places i go depending on what I'm looking to get. Mostly my local fly shop but I have a few online sources...
Excellent
+Bent Malmberg thanks!
Incredible tie, not sure I'm ready for syn fibers ? Does it actually go down in the water or skim on top.
when you first cast, sometimes it will sit on top, but one strip and its down. If you have issues (because of tying to thick) then wrap with a bit of lead wrap. But what I like most is that it will land soft (without a plop) kinda like a dry fly in a way. Then with one strip it will sink under and stay about at the same water column. It won't sink quickly, but will sink slowly, more like an actual baitfish.
McFly Angler . Thanks for your reply, I'll tie one, you know I'm old school. I tie for some of the best guides on Florida.
You don't have to tie it. LOL I don't make these video's to tell people they "must" tie them. But, I hope it helped bring some insight. Good to hear you are tying for some top guides. Please tell me your favorite patterns, I would love to see your work. I have another tie of this one that I did that I think is much better. At least the filming is. Check that one out here. th-cam.com/video/uXWHkjUfNoI/w-d-xo.html
McFly Angler It would be an honor for you to check out some of my work all I need is a ship to address. I just delivered my Charlotte Harbor Fall Winter Collection to one of my guides Capt Jim Willis. Check him out at Mrtarpon.com .
Id love to see them, can you just take some pictures and send them? I would hate for you to spend money on shipping.
where to get 3d eyes ???
+thai v private message me and I will send you a link to some you can buy online.
If I tie half that much fiber in, it does not sink....just skims across the water. I'm using EP fiber though.
Yeah, check out my new one with this, I used less fiber.
Looks better. I scaled mine down some more too and upped the hook size...going to hit the flats with a few of these today and I think they will sink this time!
Why is my bait fish to fat
Yeah always tie them sparse, use less material than you think you need
