Hi Jax,

That's a nice variation! What size hook are you using for these? I generally use a Black Magic B series, size 10 for my matuka's (that's a size 10, 2x length shank in a more generic description). If you're fishing around the Waiteti, I've found a copper dorothy, with a copper rib and blue tail tuft, works well. It can be hard to find the flat copper tinsel, and if the shops aren't stocking the Uni mylar of copper/blue, then some of the craft shops will have metalic copper embroidery yarn - and this is just a flat tinsel wrapped around a thread core.
