I have been making these small flies for catching Shad at the tailrace canal at the upper end of the Cooper River. It is patterned after the small jigs we use to catch them.
Hook: Gamakatsu SL11-3H #6
Attach a pair of Mico Eyes using flat waxed nylon or uni thread
Next attach a small clump of Supreme hair (about half a pencil diameter). Attach to the bottom of the hook just behind the eyes.
Dub some pink fibers onto the thread. Here I have used ice wing fiber in hot pink. UV shrimp dub is also nice.
Build a small head.
Whip finish and glue.
