Tungsten Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I tend to get bored tyeing the same kinda patterns after awhile so i thought I'd change it up a bit. Couldn't find any barbell eyes for weight so i used a jig hook for the head and a heavy nymph hook for the stinger. Was thinking i could bulk it up a bit more behind the deer hair to give it a better taper. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishy Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 O 'MY ... WAY TO GOOD . With the lead in, try to make a larger spun head ...or Bowling it's fun P.S Hold a small clump of black deer hair on each side for eyes. thay look great! 0NE EXTRA STEP flyfishymakin sum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headscan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I don't think those will work at all so I'll take them off your hands... The only suggestion I'd have is to get rid of the nymph hook and use a Gammy or Owner for the stinger because of the wider gape. I find a size 2 in those works well for trout without being too big. Those should have some pretty wicked movement on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ya i have some bigger gape hooks around here somewhere just can't find them now. Heres one with some marabou behind the deer hair to fill it in a little more.I like the taper a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulltrout Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 if you're going to be tying on jig hooks, i'd highly recommend the 1/8 oz. Matzuo sickle hook...it's the foundation of my Burla Bug's and i swear by them...they have ultra sharp points, they don't dull out, they're not heavy wire (easier on the fish), and they don't bend out with larger fish on (something about the sickle hook design)...

Ya the one's i have are very weak,its why i always cut off the jig hook and attach a stinger. Thanks for the tip I'll look for some of those,i always thought there has to be a better quality type around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollyy Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hey Tungsten I have those Matzuo sickle hooks, bought them at Scottys up at Pine Lake. They are are the most amazing jigs that I have ever seen. The walleye fishermen up there swear by them. They have the most amazing translucent red eyes and the hook is super light and deadly sharp. Next pinball/poker night that u come over I will give u some to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
