Articulated Leech

Hello All,

I am looking for instructions to tie an articulated leech.

I am particularly interested in the version tied with just maribou, but if anyone has any other suggustions that would be great.

If you could post intructions or a link to a good how to site, it would be greatly appreciated...also I have no clue how to attach the two hooks.

thank you.

    attach the hooks with 20lb or 30lb mono from front hook shank too second hook eye.

    The moment of truth. Where all other things unconsciously melt away from our minds the instant a fish takes our fly. We stand there on the water with wide eyes, caught in a battle stance with an idea of confidence and hope

    Ok I'm gonna tell how I tye my articulated patterns.
    You need:
    -50 lbs. spider wire braid for connector
    -super glue
    -Dia Riki #810 size ? (what ever kook size you want)

    Reason for using short shanked hooks is a streamer hook trailer there is a lot of leverage put on the shank when fish fights. It may lead to hook popping out.

    This How I connect my articulated patterns.
    -Tye in Spider wire end on top of hook shanks

    -thread hook eye on connecting line and tye in tag end and supper glue ther sh*t outta the thread.


    And as far as the front and the back of the fly is just a lotta palmering marabou and or wrapping bunny strips.

    "If, when you pull a fly out you
    dont hear drums and cant smell
    chicken blood in the air, put it back
    in the box, for if it is evil you seek,
    then it can only be conjured with the
    same.
