Pheasant & Olive

Post by crazy4oldcars » Sun Aug 19, 2012 2:17 pm

Image

Hook - Mustad 3906B Size 12
Thread - UTC Rusty Brown - 140 Den
Body - Olive Uni-Floss
Rib - Gold Wire
Collar - Orange Rabbit Body in Split Thread
Hackle - Ring-neck Pheasant Shoulder

This one did pretty well for me last weekend. I caught a couple of pretty little bream with it before I hung up and lost it.

I am really enjoying what it is possible to do with rabbit in a split thread. Thanks, Hans, for showing us that technique.

Thank you kind folks.
Y'all can give yourselves a pat on the back as well, for inspiring me to try harder.
