cool

ive used very similar ones made out of epoxy for rainbows with good success, i imagine any predatory fish will go for it

[eoghanb]

Hopefully it will dead easy to tie,now time to tie bass sized ones

Nice looking pattern. A silver with green back version would kill for pollock too. Especially if you were to add a little marabou into the tail for some extra movement, lethal!

[eoghanb]

Glad ye like it I'll put up tying instructions later

[eoghanb]

Hope you like it slack liner

great stuff eoghan, sure to catch fish. and your efforts to post up the pics are greatly appreciated
i might just have a go at something similar to that
whats the thing that you have tied on under the hook shank in the second pic? lead?
and what are the pens you use to colour things in mate?
cheers

[eoghanb]

It's lead hopefully it will have a wounded fish action it's also to take some of the buoyancy out of the foam body,the colours are sharpie permanent markers they do loads a colours,and the shiny stuff i got from unwrapping one of those party balloon weights,The cone shaped things,also could use a crunchie chocolate bar wrapper or what ever u spot ,I'm always on the look out,if the pattern is popular I'll name it the Balbriggan baitfish ,Only joking

Ps don't forget the coat of epoxy

thanks for that eoghan. those sharpie markers are the go, i'll have to invest in a few of them. i see some decent ebay offers and thats clever putting the lead back there nice1
cheers

No pollock is safe! That looks great, I like your idea with the lead to solve the buoyancy issue too. Lovely looking stuff!

Nice bait fish imitation eoghanb might have a go at these thanks for showing how you do it. Just getting into SWFF this year , find it a bit more challenging than fly fishing on rivers and lakes but that's what im liking the most still haven't had much luck yet though.
