I think Ruben Martin could somehow make an olive Wooly Worm look sexy. To me, he is among a small handful of others here, perhaps 3 or 4, who's creativity and technique put them in a class by themselves. Thanks Ruben, for annuder stunner with this unique, yet fairly simple to tie Zonker. ;;;;;;;

beautiful bait.....

[@seanmooney3907]

Excellent idea Rubin. Now you know i will have to try it. You could insert a small tube in the rear and put a tail on it too. Then just add a hook holder from pro tubes and you will have both. All the best to you. And thanks for sharing. Sean

Wow!!!!

[@joeduca8582]

Brilliant my friend! majestic music too! try using everglow tubing, glows in the dark. takes markers well. also add BBs in tubing, rattles & shifts weight, varies the action. I've never tied on tubes but will try. hope mine looks as good as yours. thanks for a pattern that can be fished by all methods!😁

[@nickshadow2622]

Ruben, I have become quite the fan, you are very talented. Usually I can find the materials list somewhere in the comments, but not on this one. I cannot figure out what you used to build the body? Could you please help?

[@timothyjones7572]

Great looking tube bait! I was wondering what is the weight that you used (alambre de plomo, grueso)?

[@rubenmartinflies]

Hi buddy, thans a lot, yes its a 0.4 cm diammeter lead wire, but you can use any weigth that you find and could tie to the tube or insert some heavy beadheads on the belly to make some noice and get the weigth you want. Regards!

[@JohnDozierSr50]

Ruben, how did this fly fish?

[@rubenmartinflies]

Hi John, its a tube fly, you put the tippet into the tube and attach the hook to the end of it. Best regards
