Jonn Graham Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I love articulated flies. They take a bit longer to tie but are super cool and give a little different look in the water when compared to standard, single hooked flies. My love for articulation took off when I caught the Muskie bug and began tying muskie flies that were articulated. Lately, I have been brainstorming how I could make an articulated smallie fly that would fished on a slow sinking, sink tip line and would be fished a few inches under the surface...........kinda like the way I fish my flukes on standard gear. Here is what I came up with.......... The reason I am calling it the B10 Minnow is the fact that I use the B10 hooks from Gammy. #2 on the back hook and #1 on the front..............the fly is basically weightless. The eyes are the plastic dumbbell eyes from Clear Cure Goo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom L Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 They are all good looking flies, especially the first one. The CCG plastic dumbbell eyes are very nice. They may last longer then the stick on eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikea Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Its nothing special Mike, chartreuse and white brad bohen "hang time". I also up sized the barto minnow, I think I use a 3/0. Let me dig for some pics and I'll make a new post. For the record I have never even had a follow yet, though my efforts have not been stellar.
