The Well Keeled Minnow

based on keeled streamer that I saw in Canadian Outdoorsman (I think?) but yes now that you mention it, it does remind me of a crazy charlie.

 

I didn't really follow any specific pattern just used the materials I had with the intention of making a streamer that would sink well and stay the right way up.

 

Materials List

Hook: Mustad Signature Circle Streamer 1x Long #2

Body: 2 pieces of non-lead one on top of the other, silver holographic tinsel, clear v-rib

Eyes: Lead painted barbells

Wing: Olive Super hair over chartreuse super hair over crystal flash

Interesting you would use non-lead based weight and then lead eyes, but like you mentioned, you used what you had... I try to use no lead consistantly, but I think I have a few lead eyes left, as well...

 

Great tie!
