Nice tie! Bendbacks as a style have always been my most effective bass flies.
I always liked the anecdotes in this blog post about them:
http://riverraisinrods.blogspot.com/201 ... innow.htmlI usually don't actually bend the hooks anymore, just counterweight them like in the redfish rattle fly, which you also have a step-by-step on
Speaking of, you've been busy there's a whole load of interesting flies you tied up and didn't tell us about! Murdich minnow with bastardized materials? Electric chicken? Half and half? Yes please!
Thanks, lka! Appreciate the link. That is a wonderful anecdote.
And my apologies for being behind on sharing. I'll do a better job of it moving forward as I have a few warmwater patterns I'm currently putting together.
