Tied a few of these up yesterday. Had to make a few modifications as i didnt have the shanks. I used a streamer hook then cut the bend off when i was done tying. Also threw two small glass beads on the trailing hook line for a little color. I used some fire line for the trailing hook. I need to use a little stiffer line as the hook fouled around the dumbell eyes. Landed 4 solid rainbows on the pattern today, a few misses as well. Fish seemed to love it. Will be tying some more of these in other colors and sizes. Great pattern thanks for the idea.
Do you find that the rabbit strip fouls on the hook at all? I like the concept but my experience has been that fouling with certain materials on an intruder tie tends to foul a fair amount...
so I was thinking, doubled the 20# powr pro, = 40# by my math. kikin ass with that. or did I miss something. but then there's the line to take into consideration. thumbs up.

That hide cutting trick is so clever! Definitely giving this pattern a try
Thanks! Goodluck
That is a bass slayer if I've ever seen one! Nice work!
Nice one - will be swinging these for smallmouth bass!! Thanks for posting! Hank
Exactly what im planning on doing too 😏
I love the content! Looking forward to seeing more videos.
Thanks Bruno, really appreciate it!
Great looking fly very helpful thanks
Awesome pattern, thanks for the video! Love my mongoose lol.
Thanks! I do too, easily one of the best out there!
Hey man. Looks like it’s been a while since you’ve put up a new video, just wanted to let you know I appreciate these! 🤙🏼
Nice fly! Got some bugs for an Oregon Trip! Quality stuff!
Thanks!
Killer pattern! I saw your photo and was hoping you would post a video. Thank!
Thanks Cody!
Jake, great pattern. I have never fished a leach pattern. Plenty of bugger patterns. When do you fish one over the other?
Great video and good looking pattern. Just wondering if you cut down the exposed shank when you fish this fly.
Thanks Peter! Yes i do snip the remains off, i just use wire cutters.
