Hammered the tarpon with this fly in Belize this past January. It's the only fly the guides wanted to use when fishing deeper channels, but it worked well in the rivers too. It is also excellent in red/white!
of course!! It's actually expected that you have multiple weights of bonefish patterns. Just ensure it is heavy enough to flip over the hook to ride the hook-point up.
Beautiful little baitfish. I can't stop myself from adding one red strand to the second last bottom head clump to simulate gills. Most likely doesn't help and might actually make it worse.
headed to flamingo in a month or so. went last year with a box full of tarpon toads. only managed to jump a smaller one with chartreuse and tan and black and purple variations. was wondering if this would work for the tarpon out in the florida bay, or if it was more specifically for the backcountry side like whitewater bay. do you think a chartreuse variation of this fly would work too? thanks man love your vids
Stopped in the shop and bought this kit, tied up three of them and caught my first Snook at the beach. Great pattern and great support by posting the tying instructions on RU-vid.
Haha. You're not wrong. Alot of rhythm in music from the 70s on could be considered James Brown. Sometimes things just universally work. Does the seducer own splayed feathers like James brown technically owns rap music? Haha
I've got these pliars. I also gave a set to a friend in The UK. I like them but i heard some complaints. Mostly it was that they were too large and you need a rotating vise......sigh. To me they were digging deep for this complaint. On a 360 rotating vise you will find these more than adequate in my opinion. I have a pile of hackle pliars, all of which "Sort," of work. These are better in my opinion.
