Fully synthetic Deep Minnow

As tied Clouser style - 20 or so stands of light on the bottom, 1/32 ounce lead eyes, 10 or so stands of crystal flash in the middle, and a dark topper of 20 or so stands, all on a vintage Mustad 3906B #2 hook - the bucktail substitute is “Cher Hair” like you get in the dolllar store around Halloween - one company produces useable colors but I can’t say the name or people will talk - more durable and translucent than real bucktail. I learned to tie them in the late ‘80’s by the man himself at his shop in Royalton

Thanks - it fishes pretty much like the original - with better durability - the cross eye paint job is my homage to the old Bagley balsa lures - hopefully it doesn’t p!$$ off the purists - I just like the look
