paracord minnows
well, after a bit of searching around i found the size of paracord i was looking for. so here are some of the minnows i tied with it.
a close up of one
the whole batch
the largest one at the bottom is 9 1/2 inches with a tandem treble hook attached with 12 pound test mono. the perch was dyed just using permanent markers.
materials:
aluminum tape- underbody
paracord-body
foam
homemade sequin/epoxy eyes
size 1/0-3/0 worm hook
very interesting. Let us know how they do.
Remember we all live down stream
How do those swim? The longer ones would make sweet sand lance patterns for east coats stripers and blues.
Not sure where the aluminum tape is, care to put up a step by step?
Very cool idea. Looking forward to a report on how they fish.
You ought to submit those for Fly Of The Week. They're a ringer.
Excellent work. Outstanding!
Resurrecting this
DDRRedneck500,
How did these fish?
Also, what would be sources of various sizes of parachute cord? I found some at Wal Mart but it's pretty narrow.
