Tying Instructions: This is a wrinkle on the old Joe Brooks classic. Materials are applied in order that they are listed. A rotary vise is great for wrapping the tinsel body.
Presentation Tips: This color scheme is the most productive for me, but I've also had good results with a strawberry blonde (red and orange) and an Argentine blonde (blue and white). It's a good all around salt water pattern, not just for stripers.
