first crack- Zonker Clouser?
been trying to tie something heavy, flasy, and fugly... goal is to get something down to the bottom quickly in some of the deeper faster runs of some streams/rivers i've been fishing. Bear with since this is amature at best. Bad photos taken from my iphone with the TV on and no background. I've been told this will cast like a wet sock, and it probably will. Any and all advices will be taken.
Ingredients
Size 4 long shank
black thread
red flashabou
white zonker
green zonker
black zonker- cross cut
large barbell eyes
chain from light switch
lead wire
Wrap thread on hook, hold the chains on the top of the shank and tie them in. wrap in some lead wire for added weight.
add some flashabu to the tail
Tie in some white maribu or white zonker, one or two wraps. Then green.
Then some black zonker or maribu. Flip er over, tie in some barbell eyes.
Flip er back over, tie off, use some head cement.
With the weighted chain and barbell eyes on the top of the shank, it should run like a clouser, a very heavy, lethargic clouser... Going to try it out today in a very small stream to see how it moves.
some others i've done recently.
