SHAGGY CATS

Guys,
This is a lure that has accounted for plenty of rainbows for me and my friends over the past 2 years.
I have taken more rainbows on this lure than any other.It has saved me a blank on numerous days and one I would not like to leave home without.

I just thought I would share it with you's.

The crystal yellow hackle seems to be the business on this and the bright eyes also.I have fished it on a floating,intermediate and fast sinking lines and it works everwhere I have fished.

They look the biz. What material is the body made from - is it some sort of polar chenille?

[irishflies]

Hello wiremill,
Its a material called crystal hackle.You wind the material on and it creates the body and hackle all in one.

Cheers

looks similar to hackle flash from veniards very potent materials

[wiremill]

Certainly looks good. I'd imagine a gold and black version similar to humungus would be a winner as well.

[irishflies]

Humungus,
I think your right.I get mine from the USA and I think veniards stuff is the same but under a different name.

It comes in two sizes medium and large in a whole range of colours.
It moves like marabou in the water but its much stronger.

I've got some 30mm straggle that does the same! nice stuff, ian
