RED EYED DEVIL




Just a cool looking fly. This pattern is usually used to catch tarpon of the Florida keys. But this is way smaller than the ones used there. Great for practically any predators especially those with sharp teeth.  

Materials

Gamakatsu S11S-4L
Grizzly Hackle 
Soft Hackle 
Raccoon Zonker 
Flashabou
3D eyes 


Dress the hook with thread just at the hook bend 


Tie some raccoon zonker on. Just a hook length is enough dont make it too long.


Tie some flashabou on both side of the hook


Get a pair of grizzly hackle and tie it on both side of the hook, be sure to tie it in a split.


Tie on some soft hackle, you can tie a bunch a time too.


Wrap the soft hackle a few times , then tie it down. 

Slap on a pair of 3D eyes .


Epoxy the head to keep the eyes in place and creates a fish like profile . 
The extra unused space in front act as a bite guard to minimize the risks of line breaks 

Hope you'll like it Happy tying :P
