Peanut Envy — Mini, Swing Style

By Kelly Galloup, submitted by Brute.

Description

Kelly Galloup's homage to Maddin's Circus Peanut

Tying Process

Instead of using two hooks like the original, I tied it swing style with the back hook attached to the front shank with 30 lb test Fireline braid, with two red glass beads between the front and back.
