Thats a bad ass fly. I will be tying up a few to try here in Texas. Going to try on Redfish & Trout and probably even bass, should be a great all around fly. Tightlines
Oh yeah Chris, this thing would be perfect for Texas reds! Its a really good all around top water fly, wait till you see/hear the gurgle on it! Best of luck, Mike P!
Hey there, nice pattern! Is there a benefit to whip finishing and tying back in for each foam attachment rather than never tying off and working from the back of the hook to the hook eye?
So I know exactly what you mean, I think it adds a small bit more durability of the foam not rolling. You can definitely not cut off and retie in if you put enough pressure or even a drop of glue! Thanks for the great question/comment. 👍
Hey Barney, Thanks for the comment. In all honesty it's more for just aesthetics/symmetry. It might allow for the craft fur to move a little more freely and keep it in a more straight back fashion.

@@joshhartley3287 I tie a all chartreuse blue claw with black/Green hackle and it works great. Having a "natural" and "bright" patterns gives you the opportunity if you get rejected to change.
What bobbin are you using
Awesome video 👍
Thanks man we appreciate it!

I get why you split the lower foam on the head. Why split the lower foam on the rear of the fly?
