This is a fly must have been my No 1 Fish catcher in 2006 I must have had over 150 Bass on this pattern tied in these colours. Not only is it effective but it is very easy to tie. Mackerel go crazy for this pattern as do Bass and Pollack. It is a very realistic sandeel pattern and also extremely hard wearing. This particular method of tying could easily be applied to bonefish flies also as the Hofusion doubles up as body and wing. How useful is that!

	Step 1 Tie in White or Polar Holofusion in at the shank in the same manner as a tail
	Step 2 Apply Fulling Mill Super Glue to the shank , then add a couple of twists to the Holofusion and wind back up the shank then secure down with a few wraps of Dyneema.
	Step 3 Now wind the thread back into position and tie in the eyes . This is a great way to tie in the eyes as the body provides a snugg base for the eyes hense they are unlikely to twist
	Step 4 Reverse the Holofusion back and add a couple of wraps to secure into position. Please note that when I tied this fly I used a very long length of material this was rather wasteful.
	Step 5 Add a sparce overwing of Dark Olive DNA Frosty Fish Fibres ,Trim ,whip finish. Add superglue or head cement. Trim the fly to size and Taperize useing Taperizing scissors or a decent pair of sharp scissors
	Here are a few straight out of the box . I had to remove the loop knots for the pictures!
