I'm sure that the platform of this has been used on many patterns 1000 times over. Basically, it's a jerk bait....that flat out works for me on my waters. This will walk the dog with the best of them!

Nothing special, I'm fairly sure that if you just take a closer look at the pics, you'll be able to deduce how things go together. Although, I will add. For fishability and action, you can leave the dubbing used for the head the length it comes (~4"), but I've found that you definitely spend more time undoing tangles around the hook bend. I end up blending whatever colors/materials that I want, then I cut directly in half. After that, I blend again (all blending is done by hand) so that there are minimal 'square' ends....ultimately, it'll foul way less. The hooks size I like with these, whether it's the Kona or Ahrex TP610, is a size 1/0 for smallmouth. Also, eyes: I do 4 of the XS bead chain eyes in matte black. These do two things, add a little bit of counter-balance to help the fly keel properly & with the 4, there is a definite subtle rattle there....dunno if that matters? but it might...
