After thinking about this past year, I realized I haven't caught a single smallie in 2012. Not even a little tiny one...and these are usually commonplace. Might be bad timing at this point in the season, but I've been tying a bunch of bass-sized streamers lately. Adding to this, I keep coming back to hook point-up patterns.
I recently ordered some jig hooks; and after a couple duds, I'm really starting to like them.
Here's a simple one I'm liking:
Recipe
Tail: palmered marabou and flash of choice
Body: palmer chenille and (standard?) chenille twisted together
Collar: Schlappen
Rubber legs
Over-body: rabbit strip pierced through the center and tied down over the collar
Lead dumbell eyes
Head: Craft fur (plus sharpie)
Anyone else using jig hooks? Know of any other patterns?
