Hook<\/strong>: Allen SW001 #4
\nThread<\/strong>: Benecchi White
\nBody<\/strong>: Hareline Select Craft Fur white\/black\/olive, flash, anglehair
\nEyes<\/strong>: 6mm 3d, Bug Bond cover<\/p>\n

My new saltwater box needed some baitfish and I found a box of Allen SW001 that is quite short and have a nice open\u00a0bend that I like in this pattern.\u00a0When tying these long hairy baitfish\u00a0you can use a range of material: bucktail, fox, templedog or craft fur as I have done here. This is a really quick pattern to tie up, and most of it is actually spent curing the bugbond!<\/p>\n

The primary colors I fish with is green and black, but I have some blue, yellow and red that I will\u00a0give a go later on. The eyes are attached with superglue and then some layers with bugbond around to form the eye, they are still a bit tacky, so I want to try out some other UV resin soon to see how they behave.<\/p>\n

As you can see in this picture I tie these really slim, but the movement this gets when you pull it quickly in have triggered the most of the seatrout I have landed, so I never go out without a couple of these in my box<\/p>\n
