Over the weekend I decided to tie a modified wooly bugger and invent something that would look like a fleeing baitfish, golden shiner, carp minnow or something like that. I used black maribou for the tail, then a piece of gold mylar for the body. I used some calftail died red for the gills, and some greenish flashabou for the top "fin". Then just for fun I added some "bug eyes" on the front. I also wrapped some copper wire inside to help it sink a little faster. I coated the mylar with lacquer head cement to keep it from unravelling. So, in my opinion it looks a little crappy, but will it catch fish? What do ya think? I was thinking maybe using it to get some bass in slightly stained water.
