Tied on the awesome Ahrex GB Swimbait hook, this pattern has been hooking up and catching well for me this season. Zander has been my target, but big pike too won’t say no to it. The pattern has seen some modifications through the season before I felt ready to share.

Is this hook strong enough for an adult tarpon?
thanks
I really enjoy your style of tying and explaining while you tie an awesome fly. You don't get all caught up in trying to explain every last detail as you go…excellent flow to your tying.
I have learned alot about this style of fly tying from you…excellent!
I don't like to use lead. It looks like you've done 10 turns of lead wire. Would you be up for measuring out that much lead and weighing it?
great video thank u – kudos
Another great tutorial.
Most offset hooks have such little space to tie on. Those hooks are a great idea.
I’ve looked everywhere for the materials you used but I have not yet found them. Can you or someone suggest where to buy them?
Nice
Enjoyed this video. Fun to see a fellow lefty
Thanks!
Paul,must ask,which had better hookups. Bendback style or swimbait stye?
I know this is an older video. But weight placement on a bendback. Should it be just after bend or down by hook gape. Thanks Paul

how much for 1 dozen of these
TOP!
Can't underestimate the value of flash and bass.
Very nice. You obviously put a lot of thought into that hook design. I've been tying on the EWG style hook for about a decade or so. My top hook choices are the Decoy Dream Hook Worm 15 (down to size 8) and the OWNER Jungle Bass in 3/0 -7/0. I have a killer weedless, snagless, topwater rat/frog that's tied on the 3/0 OWNER, and on the sz. 8 Decoy hook. Keep thinking, you're just barely scratching the surface. Tight lines.
Is there a specific reason to use glue over UV resin or is it just personal choice?
That’s a very nice fly, Paul. I appreciate the lucid explanation. I may have missed it but what do you recommend as a substitute for nyat hair for tyers in the US.
really nice tying paul.
Fantastic as always! Super simple, I'm looking forward to making some a little larger for an upcoming pike trip!
REALLY, REALLY dig this…………
Nice tie 👌 🎣
Great to see the videos back👍👍
Great stuff Paul!
