How to tie it
Start mono thread near the bend of a short-shank hook and tie in a sparse clump of white bucktail, about 1.5 shanks long.
Pair three sets of saddle hackles (white low on each side, tan or chartreuse on top) and tie them in tented over the bucktail so the tips form an inverted V, imitating the dorsal ridge of a baitfish.
Add a couple of strands of pearl flash along each side, kept sparse.
On the front third tie white SF Blend crossways under the shank and tan on top, stacking so light fills the belly and dark the back.
Keep stacking short pinches of SF Blend to the eye to build a bulky, water-pushing head, then comb everything back into a smooth taper.
Wrap a neat mono head, whip finish, coat with UV resin, and glue a 3D eye to each side.
