I have wanted to revisit this pattern for some time now.
Having tied one when I first started really adding videos to this channel I wanted to see if I could improve on that effort which was way too long.
This time round I decided to introduce some different materials to accentuate the colors these bait fish have as well as giving it a solid amount of red where the gills would be. This is to give that impression of a fish that is injured and bleeding.
A great pattern for here in NZ if chasing Kingfish, Kahawai and any other predatory fish.
This video was also featured in the 2022 Virtual Sportfish Show and was premiered over on their channel a few days prior to this. I have included a link to their channel as well which has several tying videos from some of the other Semperfli Pro Team as well as some other great resources
