Bits 'n Boobs

[Scratch]

Here's a couple I've been messing with here and there this season...

Keep your end up with The 'Mono-Boob'. For when two great big knockers are just a bit too much!

Shape one 'boob' and simply thread it onto the hook... dress it how you like. I've opted for a 'traditional' look, with long hen hackles partly concealing the 'boob'......

Black, Gold and Furnace.

'Bibio'

Fiery Cruncher

Hook: B175 size 10 12 or 14
Tail: Badger cock

Body: Fiery Brown holographic

Hackle: Furnace hen
Thread: Dark brown UTC

Sparkle Killer

Based on Bob Barden's 'Killer'....


Hook: B175 size 10 12 or 14
Tail: Badger cock
Rib: Fine gold wire
Body: Squirrel and hare's ear mixed with a pinch of pearl ice dub.

Black and Peacock Mini-Lure

Tail: Black Marabou
Rib: Silver wire
Body: Black seals fur and peacock ive dub
Body Hackle: Black hen
Cheeks: JC splits dyed chartreuse

Red and Golden Olive Mini Lure

Dressed as 'Black and Peacock'..... but with the following...

Tail: Golden olive marabou (Castle Feathers)

Body: Red holographic
Body Hackle: Grizzle hen dyed golden olive

Head: Natural Squirrel and light fiery/ginger seals fur

Great ties like the sparkle killer and the black and peacock mini lure.

Glad to see you're keeping busy Rob, given the choice for the sort of fishing I used to (& hopefully 1 day will still be able to do, maybe in a year or more's time) the last one, the b & p and the sparkle killer would be my 1st choices.

'New' this season mate (about April).... but done some damage

Nice, very, very, very nice. That 'fiery cruncher' is a beaut

You know Rob, if you keep practising you could get good at this tying lark

[maharg]

All top drawer again Rob.
Will have to try a few of them out.

I also agree with the lads on the cruncher, A real beauty. In fact they all are crackers
