  • Hi ChickenChristoph,

    Just use what you have white bucktail is very good, I'm glad you liked the shrimp...ATB Davie

  • Davie,

    Very nice and good shrimp !

    I´will just start to tie some shrimps for bonefish fishing..

    Does this shrimp swim hook point up ?

    Thanks for the video !

    Best regards

    Theodifly

  • Hi Theodifly,

    As Long as you tye the lead on like I did in the video it should turn over, I have been tying some smaller version of this fly and instead of the lead I used small dumbell eyes on top of the shank and slightly round the bend of the hook, this one is certainly worth doing as well..I don't use these flies personally but I have a friend that works very hard and goes everywhere he can to catch bonefish...ATB Davie

  • Brilliant fly yet again Davie. Could you tell me where you get the hook from please as its not one I've seen before?

    Thanks, Christian

  • Hi Christian,

    I used a size 5 Salar tube fly hook, I know this is not meant for this, but hey it looks o.k to me...ATB Davie

see all

  • Fantastic Dave!!

  • EXCELENT, DAVIE,THANK YOU.

  • Excellent vid, thanks.

  • Wow, thats a great looking shrimp!

  • Hello Dave, I am writing you from Southamerica and I am a follower of your flies. This shrimp was really espectacular... You are just a master tying flies. I do my own flies and jigs too, and I think that there is a special taste when you have a big catch with something you did by yourself. I will send you in my next comment one of my videos. Thank you for sharing your tips...

  • nice fly ill have to try it out here in oz 

  • Davie,

    Thank you for the answer.

    I´will tie some shrimps using small dumbell eyes like you say.

    I live in Brazil in the southwest region, so I´will try to fish for peacock bass

    using this shrimp in places where are plenty of freshwater shrimps.

    I´m sure about the succes using this shrimp !

    Thanks again ...

    Theodifly
