smallie snacks on a 2/0 610 and one on a 1/0 B10S. I found this off-white longer natural dubbing from FTD that I mixed with a tiny bit of titan dub for the head just to see how it looks. I like how it looks dry, can't wait to get it wet. It's pretty fine, so should move really really well, but that also usually means that it'll tangle super easily as well.

Love that fly! Needs some eyes?
thanks! I've honestly not noticed a difference outside of it swimming less erratically with eyes....at least for smallies. I might just take a sharpie to the sides though since that won't change how it swims.

Just curious @Tom Butler, what hook are using t
I've been using the Fulling Mills FM50 45 recently. They hold fish well and resist hanging up on the bottom. I also liked the similar Hanak.

I splurged on three of these 🐸 bodies. They are expensive but otherwise awesome. Good shape, good pop, easy casting, catch bass.
